Scraping Sessions lost every restart

Hello,

I have upgraded from latest stable 3.x professional to 4.0 professional. These are the steps I followed:

[list=1]
[*]Install screen scrapper 4.0 in a new machine (Windows 2003)
[*]Make a backup of mi 3.x database in the old machine (Windows 2003).
[*]Copy the backup to screen scrapper 4.0 directory in "resource/db"
[*]Start the program. Scripts and Proxies have been imported ok, but the scraping sessions are missing.
[*]Go back to the 3.x machine and export the scraping sessions to XML with "Export..." button on the session's General tab.
[*]Import the sessions in the 4.0.
[*]All look ok. I test my sessions and they work.
[*]Save and backup database
[*]Close the program
[*]Start it again and... my sessions have gone!!
[/list:o]

I experimented this problem some time ago upgrading my 3.x to a newer unestable version. I solved it waiting for next stable version instead of upgrading.

Thank you![/list]

jalvarez,

This would have worked when upgrading within 3.x; however, the 4.0 database is not compatible with 3.x. Instead you'll need to export from 3.x and import in to 4.x.
