Running the variable edits migration tool

Projects created in mrTables 4.0 or earlier need to be upgraded so users can take advantage of
the changes made starting in release 4.5 to save variable edits in table document files so they can
be shared by other users. The upgrade needs to be performed once for each project that was
created in mrTables 4.0 or earlier, to upgrade it to mrTables 4.5 through 5.5 or IBM® SPSS®
Data Collection Survey Tabulation 6.0.1. The IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Tabulation
Upgrade tool saves the variable edits, stored in the project management system (DPM) for
projects created in version 4.0 and earlier, into each of the table document (.mtd) files that exist
in each user's project folder. Optionally, it also deletes the variable edits from DPM (this is
recommended once you have completed the upgrade for all users). Once you have upgraded
the table documents, you can transfer them between Survey Tabulation, IBM® SPSS® Data
Collection Base Professional, and IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Reporter, without losing
variable edits or filters that have been added in Survey Tabulation.
Variable edits saved in DPM are no longer supported from release 4.5.

running the upgrade tool, a user with the appropriate access permissions saves the shared files
to their own user area. The files will then be upgraded with that user's variable edits, and can
be replaced in the shared area when the upgrade is complete.
