If you have Client Accounting...

If you have updated XML mappings for customised CSV imports, you may need to verify and migrate your XML mappings after the upgrade.

Once the upgrade is complete, a number of files are created in your MYOB installation:

File name

Description

Location

MyobCsvMaps-System.xml

This system file contains the MYOB default settings for CSV import. Do not modify this file.

Located in <MYOB directo-ry>\CENTRAL\Deploy.

MyobCsvMaps-User.xml

This file is a new map-ping XML file that contains user-defined XML mappings.

Any values in this file will override the system defaults.

You can modify this file if you wish to add any new mappings or value map sections.

Standalone installation:

<MYOB directory>\CENTRAL\Deploy\Client Accounting Templates

Combined installation:

AE—C:\MYOBAE\AESQL\Client Accounting Templates

AO—C:\MYOBAO\AOSQL\Client Accounting Templates

MyobCsvMaps.xml

This file is a backup of the file previously located in the CENTRAL\Deploy folder before performing the upgrade.

<MYOB directory>\CENTRAL\Deploy\Client Accounting Templates

If you made changes to MyobCsvMaps.xml before the upgrade, MYOB will back up this file to the folder <MYOB directory>\CENTRAL\Deploy\Client Accounting Templates.

You can open this file and manually copy over any custom mappings to a new Map in the MyobCsvMaps-User.xml file, which is located in the folder indicated in the table above.

After you have copied your changes, you may delete MyobCsvMaps.xml if you wish. Any future updates should be made in MyobCsvMaps-User.xml.

If you are prompted, reboot your computer after completing the installation to avoid any issues using your MYOB software. See What is Enable Linked Connections? and Open File - Security Warning for more information.
