Migration from PFW to Sage 300 ERP

Posted By EddyFanon over 8 years ago

Hi there,

We are migrating from Sage PFW to Sage 300 ERP 2014 and when processing the Sage ERP Migration Application the following error occurred:

“SemMain has stopped working”

-We uninstalled and reinstalled the program

-Ran the program as an administrator.

-Disabled the anti-viruses and the firewall.

-Checked the Event viewers.

nothing works.

Any idea out there?

2.05 is the latest (last) version released. I'm running on Win2012 R2 server.
How far do you get when you open SEM? Does it crash immediately, or can you open it and start the conversion process?

Pervasive?!?! Are you sure that that PFW version can be converted? The older ones couldn't be.

Jip, Sage PFW uses Pervasive.... I think the version you can convert from has to be 2010. I speak under correction here.... the details are in the SEM document.

Just checked the SEM document, the version is Sage PFW 2010 (5.9) and Pervasive v10.0 or higher.

You are missing Sage PFW data files, check the data. If you copied files from a client site then some files were not copied, possibly they had PFW open when you copied the data.
