Step 3: Install RightFax 9.3 on NT07
Step 4: Install update 2 for RightFax 9.3
Phase 2
This will be done on the following weekend
Step 1: Stop the 8.0 Rightfax Services on NT05 and
Step2: On NT05 print or make a copy of the Windows registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
Software\
If you have the Docs-on-Demand Module, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
Step 3: Change to the \RIGHTFAX\DATABASE directory then run DBCHECK -A FAXDATA to check for any corruption on the 8.0 database on NT05
Step 4: Stop all RightFax services on NT07.Create a temp folder on NT07 and extract resucue.zip file to it.
Step5: Copy all Faxdata.*** files from the Rightfax\Database directory to the temp directory on NT07.
Step 6: Launch Rescue.exe and select the option 'Upgrade 7.x and 8.0 servers
Step 7: Copy FAXDATA files from the temp directory on NT07 to RightFax\Database\ directory on NT07
Step 8: Copy the following files from NT05 to NT07

Step 10: On NT05, open both the NT05 server and the NT07 server in Enterprise Fax Manager.
Drag-and-drop the dialing rules from the NT05 server to the NT07 server
Note: You will see the following error, which can be ignored. Click OK.
The servers (servername) and (servername) are running with different code pages.
Copying data between the servers may result in a loss of data where an object uses
characters only available in the source code page
Highlight Dialing Rules under NT07. Under the File menu, select Save Dialing plan.
The Prefix Tables cannot be drag-and-dropped like the dialing rules.
Prefix Tables must be re-created on the NT07 server. To ease the re-creation the
table entries can be copy-pasted from the NT05 server to the NT07 server.
Stop and start the DocTransport module.
Step 11: Migrate users using doing the drag and drop method in Step 11.
Step 12:
Simulating the Sending and Receiving of Faxes
To test the system, you can send and receive faxes in simulation mode.

set this up in the DocTransport module add a new transport and select the "Simulation" transport. You
can configure fax channels and global settings for the simulation.
