Procedures for a Property Conversion (Prop Con)
READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY!

This procedure is to be done when a client would like to change the 5-digit property code to a different 5-digit property code. When this procedure is done all associated information included in the PMP,PMR, PMX, RSM, SYL, WOM, WOD, RSB, RSD, and PMH will carry over to the renamed property. You may convert many property codes at the same time with this procedure.

To be aware of before the procedure:

1. You must be a diagnostic user.
2. The new property codes you are assigning may never have been used before in that business code, even if they have been deleted (unless they were deleted out of the diagnostic menu). Check the new property code from the P-A-P screen. If the new code has been used before and has been deleted, you may not use this code again.
3. An availability rebuild will be necessary after the procedure.
4. ALL USERS MUST BE OUT OF First Resort FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROPCON AND THE AVAILABILITY REBUILD! This includes interfaces as well.

How to run a Prop Con:
Make sure you do not have a file in the First Resort folder that is named propcon.txt. If you do rename it.

1. Go to the First Resort Text Editor (H-T)
2. Enter the file name PROPCON.TXT and then hit Enter, then hit Enter again.
3. In all Capital letters (important) type the old property code to be renamed, Hit the TAB key and then type the new property code. If you are renaming more than one property code, create a row for each property code to be re-named. LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PROPERTIES TO 10-15.
4. After entering each property code and the name it is to be renamed to, Press F10, Save and Exit.
5. From this point on, all users must be out of First Resort for the duration of the propcon and availability rebuild. This includes interfaces, as well.

Versions 9.96 or older . .

1. Escape to the menu and then type shift 6 (^) for the File Diagnostic Routines Menu.
2. In the first field enter an F to Fix Prop Codes, in the second field enter a B for Beginning, and in the third field (Enter Byte Offset) leave as a 0. Press F10, Press P to Proceed.

Version 10.02 or higher . . .

1. From the main menu H-B-U F, Press P to Proceed, then press Enter.

Once this procedure is complete all the old property codes will not exist, and the information in the system associated with it will be connected to the new property code. REMINDER: Availability has been destroyed and will need to be rebuilt.

WHAT TO DO IF A PROP CON ROUTINE DOES NOT FINISH: If the procedure is for some reason interrupted, it is necessary to find out in which file the process stopped. To determine this, get to the File Diagnostic Routines Menu (Shift 6). Search each file in order (PMP, PMR, PMX, RSM, SYL, WOM, WOD, RSB, RSD) for the last new property code listed in your text file. Once it is known where the process broke down (the first file the new property code is not present), follow the above instructions to begin a PROP CON, however instead of pressing P to proceed, press the corresponding number to the file in which to restart the procedure.
