Auxiliary files such as Assignable Cause files, Corrective Action files, the Part 11 User Info file, and Reason Codes files must be imported using the QC-CALC Part File Utility's Import Auxiliary Files function. This will involve 4 separate processes, one for each of the 4 file types mentioned above. If you do not use Part 11, you only need to import your Assignable Cause and Corrective Actions files this way.

1. In QC-CALC, go to the Help > Launch Part File Utility.... menu.
2. Select the Import Auxiliary Files button.

3. On the next screen, choose "Assignable Causes" for the Import Type, then choose a File to Import and select the AssignableCauses.dat file you need to import. When finished, select the Next >> button to continue.

5. On the Destination File screen choose the Data Storage Type (QCQ or SQL Server). This should match the Data Storage Type setting in Tools > Options > Data Storage (there, QCQ is called "File-based").
6. If you choose QCQ you will be presented with the screen below.
7. Choose the Global Settings File (global.dat) where your Assignable Cause data will be stored. This is found in C:\Users\Public\Prolink\QC-CALC x.x) by default but it could also be stored on the network (where 'x.x' is the old version of QC-CALC). Select the Next >> button to continue.

8. If you choose SQL as the Part File Type you will be shown the screen below. Enter your SQL server connection information or choose an install of another Prolink product to import the connection information from and then click the Copy Connection Info Below button.
9. It is recommended to test the connection using the Test Connection button before clicking the Next >> button to continue.

10. On the Process screen, select the Process button to convert your Assignable Causes data to the data storage format you selected. The Part File Utility will confirm when the process is complete, as below:

11. You must repeat steps 1 - 10, but change the Input Type in step 3. After converting your Assignable Causes, convert your Corrective Actions (CorrectiveActions.dat).

11. If you are using Part 11, you must also convert your Part 11 User Info File (Part11Users.ini) and your Reason Codes file (reasoncodes.dat).
