MAS 3.7X SQL to MAS 4.5 SQL Upgrade Question

SUGGESTED

Hello,

I am preparing myself for the eventual migration to MAS 4.5. I have created 2 test servers to facilitate this process in understanding how it works, what will break and what we will need to do for a smooth production migration.

The first test server is a clean install of MAS 200 SQL version 3.7 with production files, MAS_SYSTEM database and 1 Company database restored to it.

The second test server is a clean install of MAS 4.5 SQL and update 7.

The issue I’m having is that when I go in to the MAS 4.5 workstation and choose Pre-migration under Library Master Utilities, and point it to the source path of the MAS90 directory on test server running 3.7, I get an “Error #12: File does not exist (or already exists) File: SY0CTL.SOA. This file does not exist (searching for the file in the MAS90 directory from the Server Console) in the clean install nor does it exist on the production server that I will eventually migrate from. I have read a couple posts referencing a “SVXBLD” command but this does nothing from PVXWIN32.EXE or from File > Run in MAS Workstation 3.7 on the test server says “This option is not available in the SQL Environment”.

All the upgrade documentation I’m reading says I need to run the pre-migration utility before migrating any data over. So I’m kind of at a loss here on what I’m supposed to do. Is there any reason why this file wouldn’t exist?  

Thanks!

    Upgrade path is: 3.74 -> 3.71 -> 4.x PVX -> 4.50 for SQL

    Business Partners will need the following software:

    1) "SQL to non-SQL Migration Utility" software program.

    2) MAS 90 3.71 CD

    The detailed steps are included with the utility's manual.

    Migration to Sage ERP MAS 200 SQL from version below 4.0 is not supported.
