Revelation data conversion, export, item xref & migration
DATA EXPORT SERVICE
----------------------------------
I am a Revelation G and Advanced Revelation programmer with 22 years experience in Information Technology and 15 years experience in Revelation. I am currently available to do Revelation data conversion assignments, either remotely or on-site any where. I will work to a fixed quote, usually based on $US5 per megabyte received, with a $US500 minimum charge. Excellent references can be provided. If exported data can be returned via email (encrypted if required), turn around time for a straight-forward conversion is generally 24 hours from receipt of the data which can be sent either via email, diskette or CDROM. Confidentiality of data is assured.
Contact me at: finsol@ts.co.nz for more detail on this service.
CROSS REFERENCE SERVICE
-----------------------------------------
I can also provide a comprehensive cross-reference database of Revelation applications in MS Access format. The cross-reference database will show, among other things, what item calls which other item(s) (i.e. menus, programs, fields, windows etc.) and what items read or write to which files. This database is very useful when maintaining Revelation applications and in particular, when migrating them to another platform. Items can be located by the displayed text in Menus or Windows. Eventually we hope to fully automate the creation of the cross-reference database and this will allow users to set up their own database and update it as often as is required.

DATA EXPORT SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
-------------------------------------------------------
Due to the limitations of Revelation's data import/export facility, I have found it necessary to develop my own software (EXPORTR) for this purpose. EXPORTR will work with both Advanced Revelation and Revelation G.
For the past few years I have been successfully marketing this software. Users who have very little knowledge of Revelation have found it to be particularly useful in accessing the data they need.
Recently I have upgraded EXPORTR to incorporate many new features which users have requested.
The most useful enhancements to EXPORTR include:
- an option to include Revelation field names as column headers in the exported file
- an option to automatically use Revelation data conversions where they exist for a field
- an option to automatically select all possible data files for export
- an option to also export data dictionary file(s) as well as the data file(s) specified
The EXPORTR software is a very useful tool whether you are:
- a Revelation programmer who regularly performs data extraction and conversion assignments
- requiring regular automated extracts of data for output to the web or input to other applications
- require a data extraction/conversion procedure for application migration, which can be easily re-run (i.e. with a single command) for all required files as often as is required before the final migration is achieved.
For further details on what the EXPORTR software can do, please visit my web page at:

Or email me for the software and manual at:
finsol@ts.co.nz
The current cost of the registered version of the software is $US250.00.
Note: If you already have purchased EXPORTR, you are eligible for a free upgrade to the new version - please contact me regarding this.
