Hi All, I am trying to migrate a 260 field ONE FILE DB to a newly designed db with many related files. I want to write a script to migrate the data and create the appropriate related records. THE EASIEST way would be to use a script step that created portal records. But it seems to me like i need to run an external script for each related file which sucks big time. Am i missing something? Can i create portal records from a parent file script?? I am trying to avoid using multiple globals and external scripts for every single related record. Basically i want to create new Portal record, set portal fields.. from the parent..

Create the "external" scripts (BTW, if the scripts are similar, you can create one script, then import it into the other files & make whatever changes are necessary for each file). Then create a script in the main file that runs all the scripts.

Basically, putting data into a portal is actually creating (or editing) records in the related file -- the portal is just a "window" allowing you to look at the related data. So you can't directly import data into a portal; you have to import it into the related file.
