Defining a new Redwood CPS project

This topic describes how to define a new Redwood CPS Software (Redwood CPS) conversion project. You can analyze the complexity of the conversion project by viewing the assessment report. You can either import the by extracting the files manually or extract the files from the Redwood database into the Conversion Tool without having to configure your environment.

Before you begin

Ensure the following:

• (Manual import only) Export your Redwood data, as described in Redwood CPS data extraction.
• Create a new project, as described in Creating a new Conversion Tool project.

To define a new Redwood CPS conversion project:

1. From the Redwood - Load Data window, select one of the following:
   • Automatic: Enables you to automatically import the data from the Redwood database by doing the following:
     • Complete the Redwood CPS scheduling data parameters.

       The following table describes the automatic import scheduling data parameters for Redwood CPS.

       Parameter	Description
       Type	Defines the database type. From the dropdown list select either Oracle or MSSQL.
       Host name	Defines the host name for the database.
       User name	Defines the user name for the database.
       Password	Defines the password for the database.

     • (Optional) Click Test to test the connection to the database.
   • Manual: Enables you to manually import the data by selecting one of the following:
     • From the Automatic Detect Files area, in the Data files directory field, click to locate the files directory and then click Find files.
     • In the Import Scheduling Data area, click next to each filed to locate the .csv files.

     NOTE: When you select Automatically Detect Files, if any files are missing, you can add them manually in the Import Data Scheduling Area.

2. Click Import.

   The data is loaded into the Conversion Tool and in Assessment Report window, a summary of the imported data appears. For more information, see Data evaluation.

3. Click Next.

   The Run Conversion window appears.

4. Select Run conversion or Load existing conversion results.

   For more information about running conversion, see Data conversion.

5. Click Next.

   The Conversion Settings window appears.
