2.  Setting up MigrateAdmin

The first step in migrating data into ACT! 2010 is to tell MigrateAdmin a little bit of information to aid in finding your Goldmine databases.

If this is the first time you've run MigrateAdmin, you should have walked through the Getting Started Wizard.

To get started, press the (browse) button to browse and locate both the "Cal.dbf" and "Users.dbf" files.  You will see a standard File Open dialog box to choose these files.  MigrateAdmin will attempt to take you to the default folders for these files upon clicking the browse button.  However, if you do not see them when clicking the browse button, you will need to search your computer for these files.  These paths are used to determine where the databases are stored as well as what users and calendars to migrate into ACT!.

The screen below shows the main MigrateAdmin screen where you will choose these files as well as create a new configuration file for your Goldmine database.  All information such as which Goldmine database to migrate, migration options, and field mappings, are all saved as part of a configuration file.

In addition you can go back and Edit configurations, if needed, before performing the final step of pressing the "Migrate Data" button.

The example below shows that the "Cal.dbf" and the "Users.dbf" files have already been located.
