- projectDetails.properties : This file consists of database settings which will be used to validate settings on target database.
- usersMap.properties : This file consists of usernames of active users in RMsis. These users must be mapped to pre-existing users of target database.
- It is possible that the target database has different set of users, if this is the case, please open the usersMap.properties file and map the users to existing users of target database.

Mapping users of source and target database.
- The usersMap.properties can be used to map the users of two different instance if the users in both the instance are different.
- The usersMap.properties file will contain the list of active RMsis users of source instance.
- See sample screen:
- At present, it is assumed that the users in source and target database are same.
- If they are different, please map each user to some other user of target database.
- You will have to edit the above file and add the corresponding users against each entry.
- For example, if username of administrator in source database is admin and administrator in target database. You will have to replace the admin with administrator in right hand side.
- After the change, the entry 11-admin=admin will change to 11-admin=administrator
- Similarly, map other users to some other active/inactive users of target database.
- A special note for the entry defaultUser=admin. This will be used to map the inactive users of source database to the user provided username in target database.
- This entry must be updated to a valid user in target database. This user will be used as a fallback if no mapping is available for a user which exists in source but not in target.
