The Data migration commands refer to the following applications:
Mechanical Desktop
Inventor
Parametric Technologies (ProE)
SolidWorks
These data migration tools provide migration for assembly, part, and draft files.
The data migration command assumes that the CAD system that you are migrating from is installed on a computer located on your network. The CAD application can be on the same machine as Solid Edge or on a different machine.
Windows 7
Windows 8
Hardware -- 32 or 64 bit
Solid Edge 32 or 64 bit
Solid Edge Data Migration tool 32 or 64 bit
Server CAD application -- 32 or 64 bit
Note:
You should run the same version of Solid Edge and Solid Edge Data Migration tool. For example, if you are running Solid Edge 64 bit, you should run Solid Edge Data Migration tool 64 bit.
Server application refers to the application from which you are migrating.
For Solid Edge to communicate with the migrating CAD system you must install a server side application on the same machine that contains the CAD system.
Insert the Solid Edge DVD into the computer of the migrating CAD system (server machine).
From the Solid Edge DVD, navigate to the Data Migration folder and double-click setup.exe.
Follow the steps of the InstallShield Wizard for Solid Edge Data Migration.
Note:
You should use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel to remove the data migration server software.
The Install process builds a distributed program application which can be found in Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/Component Services/Computers/My Computer/Com+Applications/SEDataMigration.
Navigate to Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/Component Services/Computers/My Computer
Right-click and select Review Properties.
On the Default Properties tab, ensure that the Enable Distributed COM on this computer is enabled.
Navigate to Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/Component Services/Computers/My Computer/COM + Applications
Right-click the SEDataMigration COM Application to review the properties.
On the Security page disable the Enforce access checks for this application.
Once installed you must enable Distributive COM, and disable the Access Checks for this application.
On the same machine that contains the application from which you are migrating, you need to place all files to be migrated in folder. This folder is known as the Server Working Folder. This folder must be shared and the user migrating must have Full Control of this folder.
