To migrate a catalog created with an earlier Cumulus version, which is currently not opened at the Cumulus Server:
1. On the Cumulus Client, select File > Administration > Migrate Catalog. A window for selecting a catalog file is displayed.
2. Select the Cumulus catalog file you want to migrate and click Open.
3. Select a name and location for the migrated Cumulus catalog file and click Save. A progress bar is displayed indicating the status of the conversion.
Once the progress bar disappears, your catalog file is migrated to the current Cumulus catalog format and saved in the location you selected.
Catalogs that are disconnected from the Cumulus Server can also be migrated to the current Cumulus version on the Cumulus Server machine, using the Cumulus Tool.
To migrate a catalog with the Cumulus Tool:
1. On the Cumulus Server machine, open a shell and type CumulusTool -migrate <catalog source file> <catalog target file>
In order to be used in Cumulus, the resulting new catalog file must be added to the Cumulus Server using the Catalog Access window.
NOTE: If problems occur during a catalog migration, try repairing the catalog using your former Cumulus version. Choose the Repair option under the Administration menu and then try the migration again.
