Migrated Aloha to WinXP but Data is missing

[cheekycj]

Hi,
I just migrated Aloha 5.034 from NT to XP (NT crashed and wouldn't start). Everything seems to be ok. CTLSVR runs and Aloha Mgr starts up fine. The problem I am seeing is when I run Aloha Mgr and login - I don't see any of the old menus (reports/utilities/etc) and the right side buttons just goto blank data. Its as if all the sales/item data is not there but I have data for the past 2 years sitting there.

I copied and old data directory into newdata and data directory and restarted CTLSVR - but that didn't change a thing.

Any ideas why Aloha Mgr got reset? I didn't change anything to the D drive, the only thing that changed was the OS on the C drive.

TIA,
CJ

Not sure why it is stating that it cannot find those dbf files. They do exist in the DATA and NEWDATA folders

You need to copy newdata to newdata from the old hard drive. Aloha back office runs on newdata and the front of the house runs on data. There are extra files in Newdata.

Hi Bo,
The problem was that the data never changed. It was the original data on the D drive, I only upgraded the C drive.

I tried copying it from an older folder but that didn't make a difference so I reverted it. Upgrading the Database resolved the issue where DBF files were not found. I still have the issue where all the menu/submenus in Aloha Manager are not showing up.

TIA,
CJ
