Reverse Engineer OW AR Back to Worldsoft?

I'd be interested in talking to anyone who has successfully converted OneWorld AR files back to Worldsoft format.
We're B7333 co-exist SP15 & 7.3 cum 9.
I know, sounds like a giant step backwards, but trust me, there are reasons
Thanks

VK4TJ,
Are you using Line of Busiess (advanced AR) or standard?
Are you looking to CoEx the remainder ?

It will not be that easy depending on exactly what you are trying to acheive, but a starter for 10 would be

Customer - extract and put through Z files
Invoice - extract and put through z files
cash - extract and put through z files

Depending on how much (if any) history you want to bring over you may have to looks to rematch all the cash to get back to the last statement

This could be very tricky depending on the above - or very simple if you are using none of the OW features. Check out the finctional differences - there was a document in the KG somewhere (dont have a copy of that - sorry!).

Tell the list why you want to take this step and we can probably advise better !!

Cheers

Peter

Thanks, Peter:

We're non-LOB.
The end result will be a virgin Worldsoft install - possibly read-only,
possibly some limited read/write functionality.
We've been bought out by a SAP shop. They're casting covetous eyes on our 4
production servers for the changeover/data migration process, but not ready
to pull the plug on JDE just yet. The thought is, of course, that if we
could migrate backwards to Worldsoft, even as a temporary measure, we could
free up those servers, but ease the migration pain by running SAP and JDE in
parallel for certain applications until we had the resources to do the job
properly.

I don't expect problems anywhere else than AR - apart from training a few
users who've never seen green screens. We switch-hit all the time between OW
and Worldsoft in other functions anyways.

I'll attempt to dig out that document on the KG.

Regards
John Kirk
