I see in-place migration from SugarCRM listed as a new feature in 2.1; however, I did not see any documentation in the deployment guide or otherwise to successfully use this feature. Also, I did not see anything in the administration page to import a SQL database. I tried pointing to the the SugarCRM database in the configuration wizard, but that gave errors. Can someone please point me in the right direction so we can begin using our sugar data with SplendidCRM? Thank you.

First, make sure that you backup your existing database. Our migration is dependent on the quality of your data, so there is the possibility of a migration failure.
To migrate SugarCRM on MS SQL, you simply need to install SplendidCRM on top of the database. The SplendidCRM scripts will add all missing fields to all the tables that it uses. It will also migrate non-GUID IDs to properly formatted GUID IDs.
We do not migrate SugarCRM screen layout customizations.
Thanks for the response. When configuring Splendid with our Sugar DB, after runing the stored procedures/scripts on the database, the configuration tool gives an error: vwLANGUAGES not found and then crashes. Any suggestions?
Is that the only error you get? I would expect other errors before that one.
You might want to contact our support staff directly. They may be able to convert the database for you.
