Easily Migrate Projects to Petra 4.0
• Petra v4 works with projects in a
fundamentally different way than older
versions.
• The migration tool upgrades older
projects to work with the latest version
of Petra.
• All projects should have a good backup
before initiating project migration.
• Performing a full repair, optimize, and
pack on the v3 project will speed up
migration.
