Points to Consider While Using Sage Migration Tool?

  • If you have applied any updates or patches on Sage Timberline Office, you need to apply for those patches and updates once again after migration
  • If there is any change of data migration, accounting and management process at the workstation, then the link to custom reports will no longer work. To resolve such issues, you have to update every specific path in Reports Manager from the Reports menu of appropriate applications or the path noted in File Locations.
  • If you use a particular File Location (File, Company Settings and File Locations) and the path to that particular file is pointing out to the old location, you need to upgrade that path well before upgrading the server. During a data upgrade, the program will follow the path that is selected to upgrade the data file in the File location.
  • You need to validate that the new server contains enough disk space for installation. Sage Timberline Office installs various files to the same drive location as the Program Data folder; typically, you must have available space of at least 4GB in your C: drive. Install Sage Timberline Office in your drive.
