ADM and SmartObjects

> ## Using the ADM1 to ADM2 conversion utility

> Keep the following points in mind as you review this section:

> - How you employ the conversion utility depends on your conversion strategy; for example, whether you attempt to convert all files at a single time, or choose to attempt only one directory and its related subdirectories at a time.

> - Converting a file means the file is processed by the conversion utility and an attempt is made to convert the file to the ADM2 format; however, the utility cannot convert all files successfully. You will need to examine your conversion attempts and results, and manually perform additional changes to complete the conversion process. How little or how much manual clean-up work is required for a given conversion attempt varies; to determine this adequately, you must examine the results and perform test routines. For information about manual conversions, see the "Errors and the conversion utility log file" section and the "Customizing the conversion utility" section.

> This section discusses the following topics:

> - Accessing the conversion utility.

> - Defining conversion options.

> - Building the list of files to process.

> - Performing the conversion
>   (including the conversion process and errors and the conversion utility log file).

> - Reviewing conversion results.

> - Customizing the conversion utility.

> Note: Progress Software Corporation strongly advises you back up all files before performing any of the procedures described in this section.
