Downloading and Installing the Software
In order to migrate to a new workstation, the software must already be installed on the new
workstation. Follow the Installation and Activation Guide to download and install the newest
version of PlanetPress Connect on the new workstation.
Backing Up files from the current workstation
The first step in migrating to a new workstation would be to make sure all necessary production
files and resources are backed up and copied over to the new system.
Technical
Although it is not necessary to convert all of your documents when upgrading to the latest version,
we strongly recommended doing so. It is considered "Best Practise" to convert the documents to the
version installed and then re-send them to the Workflow Tools.
Backing up Workflow files
To save all Workflow-related files, backup the entire working directory:
C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8
Here are a few important points when transferring these files:
l If you are upgrading to the latest version of Connect, it is recommended to open each
template in Designer, produce a proof making sure the output is correct. Then send the
template with its data mapper, job and output preset files to Workflow by clicking on File -
> Send to Workflow…
l If you still use PlanetPress 7 legacy documents, PTK files can be imported by clicking on
the Workflow tool button at the top left corner of the Workflow tool interface. If copying the
PlanetPress Workflow 8 folder directly, it's important to delete any file with the .ps7
extension so as to refresh the postscript file for the new workstation.
