Migration of settings from Toad for DB2 5.6 to 6.0
Description

The migration of user settings in Toad for DB2 is dependent on a previous version (e.g. 5.6) being installed on the workstation where Toad for DB2 6.0 is beng installed.
If Toad for DB2 5.6 is uninstalled, then the install of Toad for DB2 6.0 will not provide the user prompt "Settings Migration Utility", at start up, even where the Application Data directory from Toad for DB2 5.6 is still present on the workstation at C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for DB2 5.6.
Cause

When both Toad for DB2 5.6 and 6.0 have been installed, the Migration Wizard can be re-initiated by closing Toad for DB2 6.0 and deleting the Application Data Directory named c:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\Toad for DB2 6.0
After deleting the directory and restarting, Toad for DB2 6.0 will provide the user prompt "Settings Migration Utility" at start up.
If Toad for DB2 5.6 has been UNINSTALLED, then this procedure does not work, even though the AppData directory for Toad for DB2 5.6 may technically still exist.
Resolution

WORKAROUND
None.
STATUS
Waiting for fix in a future release of Toad for DB2 ZOS.
Defect ID

TDB-1663
