Overview

This article describes the process and necessary information to run the Import-Export Tool from a machine other than the server.

Process

To run the Import-Export Tool from another machine than the GFI Archiver server, follow the steps as mentioned below:

1. Copy the folder ..\GFI\Archiver\MarcImportExport from the GFI Archiver server to a remote machine (where you have Microsoft Outlook installed)
2. Run the tool from the remote machine by launching MarcImportExport.exe or MArcImportExport_x64.exe (depending on the version of Microsoft Outlook installed)

Important Notes

• Make sure that the remote machine has the full version of the .NET Framework 4 installed. You can check this by navigating to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, which must list two entries:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
