The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Upgrading Goldmine 6.7 dbase to Goldmine 8.5 SQL

Asked by usspare in Goldmine

Tags: Goldmine, Upgrading Goldmine, Go

We are attempting to upgrade Goldmine 6.7 dbase to Goldmine 8.5 SQL on a new server. The problem that we are experiencing is that no users accounts are migrating over during the import. Below are the steps that we have performed.

"      We copied over the Goldmine 6.7 folder to a new server.
"      We have installed Goldmine 8.5 SQL and SQL successfully with Demo files.
"      We created an alias database in SQL.
"      Using the rehost Goldmine Database wizard we have the following choices.

1.      Create or copy data for contact set  tables
2.      Create or copy data for base Goldmine table

"      We picked number 2.
"      On the next screen we choose our alias database.
"      Under select source of data for the new database we picked (copy data for 6x dbase tables).
"      On the next screen it wants the paths to the dbase files.

For CONTACT1.DBF we picked the name of our database folder.

For CAL.DBF we picked the GMBase folder

For USERS.DBF we picked the root of the goldmine folder which we can see our user account listed.

The import is error free.

When we log back into Goldmine it appears that all the data has been carried over except the user accounts. We were told that we need to move mail attachment folder and templates over also.

Are we missing a step that would cause the user accounts from not to be available in the database?
Is there a better way to perform the import?
