Hi,
We are looking to convert an old solution in FM 11 to FM 15. We have 80 to 90 files in .fp7. A rewrite of the application will be time consuming . My thoughts are to first do a conversion and then rewrite or refactor different parts of the application.
As far as we know this has to be done manually :
Convert .fp7 files to .fmp12 files
Create DDR of converted .fmp12 files
Search for <unrelated>, <missing>, <unindexed> etc. issues in DDR. And Fix those issues.
We are using plugins as well, so we will upgrade those plugins for FileMaker 15 and will make necessary changes in its calculations/scripts/relationships.
Fix any issues found
Are there known tools or some automated ways to resolve conversion issues ?
In the past we used MetaData Magic tool to convert fp5 to fp7 files. Metadata Magic provided the report - list the issues which had to be fixed before and after conversion. It reduced cleanup work both before and after conversion.
It is not available for processing fp7 files. (http://www.newmillennium.com/metadatamagic/)
Does anyone know of a similar tool to simplify/expedite /automate conversion from fp7 to fmp12 files ?
Thanks and Regards,
