prim19864:What are the data conversion options to select when upgrading an Oracle 3.5.* pmdb database to 4.0.

Option 1:  When the first option is selected,  resources which have a custom unit of measure in a user defined field and allow overtime will be converted to nonlabor resources with overtime allowed.  If this option is not selected, these resources will be converted to material resources and the overtime will be removed.

Option 2:  Selecting the second option lets you convert resources that use one of the custom units of measure shown (entered by the user) to a nonlabor resource instead of a material resource.

Option 3:  Selecting the third option lets users mark User Defined Field columns as “unused.”  Unused columns are treated as if they were dropped, even though their column data remains in the table’s rows.  This feature is useful when you want to remove the columns from regular access instead of dropping them, which will reduce the amount of time needed for the upgrade.  Selecting this option does not remove any data from the application.  The user defined fields have been moved to their own tables since they are now unlimited.  The setting only affects what happens to the columns in the database that are no longer needed because of the new tables.

Note:  Data affected by enabling the SET UNUSED option can be removed later, if desired.
