Conversion from 2.0

CirrusPrint 2.0 configuration can be exported to a text file, starting with version 2.0.19.  The conversion can be performed one company at a time, or for all companies at once.  Run this command line on the 2.0 server system:

cp20s -exportconfig -o exportfile -compid "compid"

If no compid is specified, then all companies are exported.  The export file specified is created, with 600 permissions on Linux, and can be copied to the version 3.0 system.  Note that this file contains clear-text passwords, so should be handled securely.

On the 3.0 system, run this command line to convert the company records:

cp30s -convert exportfile -force -o logfile

If you don't specify the -force option, and the company already exists in the 3.0 configuration, the conversion is not performed.

Notes

All autosend output devices are set to inactive.  Such devices were automatically generated in version 2 and were not counted as part of the version 2 licensed device count. Version 3 does not support this type of automatic device, and if made active they would count against a device count license.

All input sources are set to inactive.  This is to prevent conflicts with a live version 2 installation during migration.  When you are ready to enable those sources in version 3, it is easy to do so in bulk by selecting any number of input sources and clicking the toolbar 'plus' button.

If possible, obtain an upgrade license for version 3 before importing so the device count will be active and output devices won't be disabled due to exceeding the free 2-device limit.
