Before You Begin Migrating

Before you start the migration process, you must back up your existing application and you must have the Version 4 .cta and .gfa files. The Project Migrator converts the self-contained .cta file to the individual procedures and Master Files, along with other files used by the application such as JavaScript files, .gif files, and so on. In Version 5 and higher, Maintain procedures use a file extension of .mnt by default, so the Project Migrator assigns that extension to all Maintain procedures. The .fex extension is used for non-Maintain FOCUS procedures. The .mnt files contain forms that are broken out into .wfm files when you run them locally or deploy them. The Version 4 .gfa file is translated to a Version 7 .gfa file.
