Converting data directories that are not under the WINPAY directory

Karishma Updated by Karishma

Before you start, ensure that the data in these directories has been backed up.

Locate your Payroll installation folder. This should have been noted in the checklist. If not, contact your system administrator if you are unsure where this is. Once you have located it, open the LOCALCFG application. If you have trouble locating this, it may be useful to sort the files by type and look through the applications.

When LOCALCFG is open, you will see this screen:

Make a note of the information that is currently in the Data directory field, you will need it later.

Once you have made a note of the current Data directory path, press its ‘…’ button and navigate to the directory that you wish to convert. For example:

L:\DATA\

Click OK, make sure the instruction below will be completed at the end, then return to the running the installation program article.

Once the data directory has been converted, and the process is repeated for any other directories that you wish to convert, make sure you return to LOCALCFG and set the path back to its original text. This will ensure that your system operates in the same way that it did before the upgrade.
