Import Data From Watch My Domains SED Version 3

There is no option to import data from version 4 because there is no need, version 5 uses the same database tables as v4.

Importing data from Watch My Domains SED v3 is very similar to importing data from registrars.

Important: You need to do this only if v3 and v5 are on different servers and is not accessed as localhost.

By default remote access to MYSQL databases are disabled. This could cause a problem if your version 3 database is on a different server

Please see Enabling Remote Access to MySQL /MariaDB Database for Importing Data and make sure that the new installationcan access the older database.

In the Administration panel select 'Settings' and then open the 'Setup Registrars / Data Sources' tab.

Specify a profile name and then select SEDv3Import from under the drop down list that shows the supported data sources. Click 'Add New'.

Select the newly added source profile and enter the following details from the old version setup.

The above information will be available in the config.php file at the root folder of v3 installation.

Click 'Update' to save the information.

Now use the 'Add Domains' button in main interface and import the data from the newly created data source profile.

You can also use the SED command line tool to import the data by using the import=profilename option.
