• in the setup options ("Setup parameters .. HFSQL files").
• in the description of each ".EXE" file that is uses data files to be modified ("File description" window),

• the automatic modification of data files in HFSQL Classic format
• the automatic modification of data files in Hyper File 5.5 format or the migration of data files from Hyper File 5.5 to HFSQL Classic.

Performing the automatic modification of data files in WINDEV format

1. Select "Setup parameters .. HFSQL files".
2. Check "Run the automatic data modification".
3. Specify the operating mode of the automatic data modification:
   • "Automatic data modification without GUI" enables the automatic data modification without allowing any action from the user.
   • the option "Ask for confirmation before running the automatic data modification" is used to display the list of modified data files and to ask the end user for confirmation.
   • the option "Display the advanced options of the automatic data modification" is used to display a specific window to the end user (see Updating with automatic modification of data files).
4. Specify (if necessary) the password associated with the analysis.
5. Validate the window for setup options.
6. In the "List of setup files" window, select the executable file (".EXE") on which the automatic modification of data files must be performed. Check "Manage the automatic data modification".
7. Click the "Advanced" button.
8. Select (if necessary) the analysis in WINDEV format (".WDD" file) associated with the application.
9. For each data file of the analysis, specify (if necessary) the password of the data file (if it exists).
   To modify this password, check "Modify the password" and type the new password twice.

Performing the automatic modification of data files in Hyper File 5.5 format or migrating data files from Hyper File 5.5 to HFSQL Classic

1. Select "Setup parameters .. HFSQL files".
2. Check "Run the automatic modification of data files".
3. Specify the operating mode of the automatic data modification:
   • the option "Automatic data modification without UI" is used to perform the automatic data modification without giving the end user the ability to intervene.
   • the option "Ask for confirmation before running the automatic data modification" is used to display the list of modified data files and to ask the end user for confirmation.
   • the option "Display the advanced options of the automatic data modification" is used to display a specific window to the end user (see Updating with automatic modification of data files).
4. Specify (if necessary) the password associated with the analysis.
5. Validate the window for setup options.
6. In the "List of setup files" window, select the executable file (".EXE") on which the automatic modification of data files must be performed.
7. Display the "HFSQL" tab of the "File description" window.
8. Check "Manage the automatic data modification".
9. Check "Manage the existence of files in Hyper File 5.5 format".
10. Click the "Advanced" button.
11. Select the analysis in HFSQL Classic format (".WDD" file) associated with the application.
12. For each data file of analysis, specify if necessary:
    • the password of the data file (if it exists) in the analysis in WINDEV format.
      Remark: To modify this password, check "Modify the password" and type the new password twice.
    • if the application uses a migrated WINDEV 5.5 analysis:
      • the source analysis in Hyper File 5.5 format (".WDA" file).
      • the name of the data file in the analysis in WINDEV 5.5 format.
      • the password of the data file (if it exists) in the analysis in WINDEV 5.5 format.

• create a report file for the operations performed by the automatic data modification. If a problem occurs, this file can be given to the application manager.
  By default, this file is named "LOGMODAUTO.TXT" and it is created in the setup directory of the application.
• list the data files in HFSQL format onto which the automatic modification will be performed. You will have the ability to add to this list:
  • additional data files.
  • additional directories containing data files.
• specify additional directories containing data files in Hyper File 5.5 format that are not automatically found during the update.

• the files found in the setup directory of the application.
• the files listed in the ".REP" file. For more details, see the help about the management of .REP files.

Making the "Advanced" button invisible
