If you encounter problems you will have to do some trouble shooting as described here to verify that you have all the right pieces in all the right places.

VB6 Source Availability Test

The VB6 Source Availability Test verifies that all source code files referenced by your VB6 migration project are in the locations specified by the VBP files:

 

TestPlanTest PlanNotes
StepsHighlight the migration units you wish to validate and Select [Tools\Analyze Source] from the menu.

 

Expected ResultsThe SrcSize field is set to a positive number equal to the total lines of code referenced by the VBP. This indicates all code files were found.

 

Error ConditionThe SrcSize field is set to a negative number. This indicates that at least one file could not be found.

 

TroubleshootingDisplay the [Source Metrics] tab to see the detailed source metrics for the migration unit being checked. The Cnt_Totfield is a -1 on each missing file.

 

ResolutionObtain a copy of the missing file and place it in the location consistent with the path indicated in the VBP.

 


An alternative means of identifying missing source files is to run the Source Structure report and locate any records with Cnt_Tot=-1.

ASP Source Availability Test

The ASP Source Availability Test verifies that all source code files referenced by your ASP migration project are locations specified by the include statements:

TestPlanTest PlanNotes
Steps1. Verify that VirtualRootPath is set properly in your migration project.
2. Highlight the migration units you wish to validate and Select [Tools\Analyze Source] from the menu.

 

Expected ResultsThe RefStat field is set to "READY" This indicates all include files were found.

 

Error ConditionThe RefStat field is set to "NOTFOUND" This indicates that at least one include file or COM reference could not be found.

 

TroubleshootingDisplay the [References] tab to see the detailed references for the migration unit being checked. The RefStatfield is NOTFOUND on each missing file.

 

ResolutionObtain a copy of the missing file and place it in the location consistent with the path indicated in the include statement.


An alternative means of identifying missing include files is to run the Source References process and locate any records with RefStat="NOTFOUND".

COM/IDF Readiness Test

The COM Readiness Test verifies that interface description files for the COM components referenced by your migration project are available:

TestPlanTest PlanNotes
Steps1. Highlight the migration units you wish to validate.

 

2. Run the [Author All Interface Descriptions] process if you have not done so already.

 

3. Highlight the migration units you wish to validate and Select [Tools\Analyze Source] from the main menu.

 

Expected ResultsThe RefStatfield is set to "READY" This indicates all COM components were found.

 

Error ConditionThe RefStat field is set to "~IDF". This indicates that at least one IDF file could not be found.

 

TroubleshootingDisplay the [References] tab to see the detailed references for the migration unit being checked.

 

The RefStat field is NOTFOUND on each missing file. Note that for ASP migration units, the references list also reports the status of #include files.

 

Take a look at the log information in the right- hand side of the References panel and note any errors.

 

ResolutionObtain a copy of the missing COM component and register it in the migration environment.

 

Next select the [Rebuild Interface Description] from the context menu for the item in the References panel.

 

Alternatively, you can create an IDF for a specific COM component by selecting [Tools/Author Interface Description(s)...] from the main menu.


An alternative means of identifying missing COM reference is to run the Source References process and locate any records with RefStat="NOTFOUND".

VB6 Build Test

The VB6 Build Test verifies that the migration environment is consistent with the VBP and that the referenced code files and COM components are valid per the requirements of the VB6 compiler. It is a best practice to run this test on your source codes as a validation step:
