Using SDL MultiTerm
2007 Termbases
Switching Between MultiTerm 2007 and
2009
When you install SDL MultiTerm
2009, you still have the option of running SDL
MultiTerm 2007 in parallel if you still
need to. The installer will give you the choice of running them side by
side or uninstalling the older version.
Once installed, you can still switch between the two using the SDL MultiTerm Side by Side Tools
located in the Start menu.

Existing Termbases
Termbases that have been created in MultiTerm 6.x or later are supported
and can be opened directly in MultiTerm Desktop 2009.
Server-based termbases have to be converted using an upgrade wizard.
The upgrade process, including the wizard, is described in the SDL MultiTerm Server 2009
Installation Guide.
You can continue to use older termbases in MultiTerm Desktop 2009 by
converting them to MultiTerm XML format using MultiTerm Convert.
Existing Termbase (Catalog) Objects
For both local and server-based termbases, some of your existing
termbase objects may still be usable in SDL MultiTerm 2009.
MultiTerm automatically
checks the usability of termbase objects and gives each one a usability
status.
The status is indicated by an icon when the object is displayed
in the Catalog view:
Status |
Description |
|
The object cannot be used in SDL MultiTerm 2009.
|
|
The object can be converted for use in
SDL MultiTerm 2009.
To convert the object:
Right-click the object and select Edit from the shortcut menu.
The wizard appropriate to the object is launched. Complete the wizard. When you finish the
wizard, the object is converted and the warning icon is
removed. |
|
Objects which
you can use immediately, without taking any special action
on them, have no icon. |
