Before you begin

• If the account for accessing the source file or the clone doesn't have the Full Access privilege set, create a new extended privilege, called fmmigration, for the account. See FileMaker Pro Help.

  The keyword for the extended privilege must start with the fmmigration prefix. The account with this extended privilege doesn't need to have access to any tables, scripts, or layouts. The source and clone extended privilege names must match (but are not case sensitive).

• The source file and the clone must be either both encrypted or both unencrypted. If they are encrypted, the encryption passwords can be different.

• Make sure you know the account name, password, and encryption password (if encrypted) for the source file and the clone.
