In this stage, you should consider doing 'housekeeping' on the existing Pegasus Opera 3 (Visual Foxpro database) or Opera 3 SQL data before migrating the data to Opera 3 SQL SE.
This can be done at any time before migrating data to Opera 3 SQL SE.
Relevant access to the housekeeping routines in Opera 3 (Visual Foxpro database) or Opera 3 SQL.
It is recommended that these housekeeping and period end processes are run in the latest version of Opera 3 (Visual Foxpro database) or Opera 3 SQL before the migration:
Install the latest version of Opera 3 (Visual Foxpro database) or Opera 3 SQL, depending on the software being used. That software should have been downloaded as part of Stage 2: Installing server software.
Log on to the latest version and complete the housekeeping routines listed below.
These processes may take some time to complete. Some also change accounting period so should be done only at the relevant time. Please read the relevant help topic for details.
