Hi,
migrating from version 4.7 to 6.4 is a big step forward (5 versions). My recommendation is to review the documentation (i.e. Release Notes) closely upfront and test your new installation thoroughly before going into production.
> Is this XYZ0001 user a system user or CD user.
It's both.
> What if I don't know the users password.
You have several options:
- Ask for the user's password and update User.cfg upfront using the CD Configuration Tool.
- Keep the bad password in User.cfg during the installation and update it later once CD is installed, i.e. before it is being used.
- Remove the proxy entry from User.cfg.
You can always create and update proxies later on once CD is installed.

Dear Saul Marco,
Many thanks for sharing the link.
Appreciate if you could just help me understand the following:
I have extracted the user,map, initparam files from existing CD 4.7 setup,that I'll import in CD 6.4 during installation.
Would like to share some concerns , may be if you could help me understand:
In user.cfg there are credentials user name and password in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx this form.
Proxy:JOCP000@SIG.BAS.TCB]
LocalUserid=XYZ0001
LocalPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DownloadDir=D:\UAT\CDServer\FromXYZ
UploadDir=
ProcessDir=
ProgramDir=
AllowUpload=Y
AllowDownload=Y
Is this XYZ0001 user a system user or CD user.
What if I don't know the users password.
And at test environment importing this file as is gives errors.
Also any latest video channel for related activity would help a lot.
Regards,
Faisal

Hi,
Appreciate recommendations for moving from IBM Sterling Connect: Direct 4.7 on Windows server 2008 to Windows Server 2022 on a domain environment.
I have extracted the initparam.cfg, netmap.cfg and user.cfg files to be imported to the Connect:Direct 6.4 environment. Also File Agent file as well.
Appreciate if anyone could further guide me the steps for a smooth upgrade.
