1 Introduction
This is a quick reference guide for the ECRM Migrate Utility, which is used to transfer
RIP settings from one installation to another. Manually transferring RIP settings from
one installation to another is both time consuming and error prone. The ECRM Migra-
tion Utility simplifies the process.
2 Overview
The ECRM Migration Utility is ECRM’s version of Migrate, a tool developed by
Global Graphics. The ECRM Migration Utility calls Migrate to perform most of the
migration work. However, both before and after calling Migrate, the ECRM Migrate
Utility performs additional operations that are necessary for proper migration of
ECRM’s device driver plugins. Thus, you cannot perform a successful migration
using Migrate directly; you must use the ECRM Migrate Utility.
The ECRM Migration Utility transfers the majority of the RIP settings from
one ECRM or Konica RIP to another. The RIPs must be on the same platform.
This is most useful when upgrading the RIP to a newer version. The settings
from the older RIP can be migrated to the newer RIP.
The Migrate Utility does not support the migration of PrintMate (Print Produc-
tion Manager) or non-ECRM RIPs.

Generally, RIP settings, page setups and output plugins (if they are not present
in the To RIP) are transferred. Settings that may depend on the version of the
RIP, such as custom page features, are not transferred.
Note: When migrating to a RIP that supports TrapPro from a RIP that does not,
you should enable TrapPro in the new RIP after the migration, otherwise your
password will be lost. This is because a new password for TrapPro is set to 0. So,
if TrapPro is enabled in the new RIP and then a migration is performed, the valid
password will be overwritten by 0.
The migration utility also transfers:

suggest that you delete that installation of the RIP and migrate into a fresh
installation.

• Choose the ‘From’ RIP (the one you are transferring from) and the ‘To’ RIP
(the RIP you are transferring to).
Note: Depending on how many RIPs you have installed, there may be multiple
RIPs to choose. Be sure to choose the appropriate RIPs.
• Click the Migrate button to start the migration process. The utility scans the
old RIP and displays its progress in the text panel. A typical period is up to five
seconds per simple page setup when scanning and under a second per file when
merging the temporary files. During these processes there should be no very
long pauses (over 60 seconds) without text appearing in the text panel.
