Overview

The PowerExpert SRM Migration Tool converts CapacityShield, DiskReport, and FileMonitor components of PowerExpert 4.1.

·       Trend databases are not converted because the Trend Database structure is different in PowerExpert SRM.

·       Audit databases are not converted because the Audit Database structure is different in PowerExpert SRM.

·       FileMonitor is not uninstalled by the Migration Tool. You must uninstall FileMonitor manually.

CapacityShield

1.      Global properties are not converted.

2.      Scheduling info for reports scheduled in QA threshold actions is ignored and reports are scheduled for immediate execution.

3.      Reports specified in threshold actions under “Reports to Execute” are not converted.

DiskReport

1.      Global properties are not converted.

2.      The Files with ACL and Files by User Access reports have been removed from PowerExpert SRM, so these reports are not converted.

3.      When a report set contains more than one report, the properties of only the first report are converted. Conversion works this way because properties in PowerExpert SRM are defined per report set, whereas PowerExpert ST 4.1 properties were defined per report.

4.      When a report or report set exists in both PowerExpert SRM and PowerExpert ST 4.1, the report or report set in PowerExpert SRM is overwritten by the report or report set  from PowerExpert ST 4.1.

5.      The Wasted Space Report report set does not work after conversion.

6.      Reports reading from or writing to the trend database are not converted because the trend database structure is different in PowerExpert SRM.

7.      User Filters are not converted, but references to them in report properties are converted because PowerExpert SRM allows you to specify a user filter without adding a user filter first.

FileMonitor

1.      Global properties are not converted.

2.      Screened objects defined under All Devices are not converted.

3.      Entries in Monitor are not converted because the database structure is different in PowerExpert SRM.
