I have to agree with Susan. This tool has been a major time saver for me. There have been a few times when I have had to migrate the same object twice but never more then that. Version 7 is the best so far. I cannot imagine going back to the old way.

I've also been using it since Ostream days and I actually love migrator, although I haven't used v7 yet. I used it all the time for migration but followed a certain progression. I did different objects separately. First menus, then forms, then active links, then filters, then escalations etc. Sometimes I'd combine filters and escalations without issues. Sometimes a form or workflow would error out due to busy server or something like that. Being patience, I'd wait a bit ... talk to it softly ... then do the migration and whaalaa ... it would work.

We have had so many problems with Migrator screwing things up that I have gone back to the old way of exporting and importing def files. There have been so many incidents of objects "successfully" migrating when nothing has changed except the Last Modified date. Even the Diff reports come up with things that are identified as different when they are identical in every respect according to the details displayed in the Diff report itself.

In options > Data > Data merging options I checked "Replace Old Record". I select a record that is the same in both systems, and change the data in the destination system. In the Source server I open the form, select "Data" and find the record. Then I drag the entry into the destination window. The log file says that the migration was successful, but the data in the destination record does not change. What am I doing wrong?
