Lost in conversion ...

Postby McIver » Tue Jul 19, 2011 6:24 pm

Doing a conversion from v5.59 to v6, 52 of 450 groups have not been converted. Total size of SPOOL_V1 is 320 GB. Conversion took about 5 days. What happened ?

Thanks - McIver

Don't know, what do the logs say?

Pick one that didn't work and just try to convert it again. I just re-downloaded mine.

There is no conversion of the groups configuration themselves. The Configuration file from 5.59 is compatible with 6 meaning there there is no conversion step. If you've lost groups, it's probably not the same configuration file you were originally using.

I can run 5.59 on my machine, and see the list of groups, then run 6 and see the same list, then 5.59 again. The configuration files doesn't really care what version you're running.

What process did you use to upgrade? Ran 5.59, exited, ran the 6 installer and went from there? And you don't see all of your subscribed groups listed in the group tab?
