Upgrade projects to the current version

Use the copyProjects command-line tool to upgrade your projects to the current version.

Using this tool instead of manually re-creating your projects is the recommended approach, as it reduces the time needed to migrate multiple projects, and prevents human error.

To copy projects using the copyProjects tool:

1. Open a terminal and log in as root.
2. Run the copyProjects script:

   /usr/discreet/flare<version>/bin/copyProjects

   NoteThe copyProjects tool requires no command-line arguments.

   The tool detects all projects from previous versions, and returns the following message:

   Projects will be copied to version 2013

   Do you wish to continue?

   If the version returned by the script is the newly installed version, answer Yes and continue this procedure. Otherwise, perform the steps in the next procedure to change the application version to which projects are copied.

3. Confirm each project you want to copy to the new version, or type “a” to copy all projects.

   The tool creates a copy of each project for the current version. The string _copy is appended to the end of the new project name.

4. Use the network library to transfer media into the copied projects.

To change the application version projects are copied to:

1. Open a terminal and log in as root.
2. Type the following command:

   /usr/discreet/<product_home>/bin/selectWiretapVersion.py

3. Select the version you want to copy projects to.
4. When you are finished, run the copyProjects script.
