Moving VJS to a New Computer

Moving VJS from an Old Fileserver to a New Fileserver

From your previous server, copy the entire C:\VISUALJS folder to the new server's C: drive so you end up with a C:\VISUALJS folder like what was on the old server.

Run the VJS installation program -  C:\VISUALJS\INSTALL\VJSINSTALL.EXE or  INSTALLVJS.EXE

This may request a password that you originally had - or tell Compulink the date of this installer file in order to find the password.

run

This could be transferred directly (if both computers are on the network and talking, or via a large-capacity USB memory stick, or via an external hard drive.)

Then share this C:\VISUALJS folder on the new server giving all users ("Everyone") read, write, delete, update, create, etc privileges.

Then on each workstation map a network drive letter to point to the new server's shared VISUALJS folder

E.g. where they might have had Z: mapped to  or \\SERVER-2000\VISUALJS they'll now map Z: to \\SERVER-2027\VISUALJS

Of course, the exact computer name may be different in your case.

Then Open Selected Company from the VJS File Center and it'll probably prompt you to Update the Data Files.

After you have verified that the data is in place on the server, use the same  VJS Installer as above on the other workstations.
