The procedure for
preparing a version 7.0 or 7.1 repository for upgrade is very
straightforward. First of all, make a backup of your repository.
Before upgrading your repository, you should create a violation
report of the repository using USoft BenchMark and fix any problems
identified in the report. If you wish to import a USoft TeamWork
export file into a USoft 8 repository, there is a standard
procedure you must follow.
