Re: Jobs Migration(urgent)
Welcome to the forum!
The biggest mistake that can be made in a posting is to mark it as urgent. The people who are responding are not paid to respond and marking it as urgent will probably get a slower response than you would have received without this urgent designation.
I don't see a problem with migrating the code using an import/export.

Hi,
As a check-list for your migration, have a list of job types that you are migrating.
- Jobs that have transformers
- Jobs that don't have transformers
- Jobs that read from Databases
- Jobs that write to Databases
- Sequences
- .... anything else that you might have in your site...
Try a sample of each type to make sure all the environment settings are correctly set before brining in your "live" jobs that might be complex to debug.
If you have any jobs that are run from scripts (command line, shell et al.) review the syntax in Version 8.0.
Also, remember there are some good things in V 8.0 if you want to take advantage of
- Parameter Sets
- Flexible repository (folder) structure
Check out the link that contains Ver 8.0 features - by Vincent at http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/infosphere/ ... rver-14257
Good luck,
