I am migrating/moving users & groups and roles from my older IBI srver t new server. I am going to use MREEXTRACT.BAT and MCLOAD.BAT. I was wondering what is JAVAPATH for the server? Where do I find this configuration?

Has anybody ever used MRextract utility for user, group, and role migration? I am looking at adming guide but I am losing where its telling me it creates .txt files but its not explaining how these text files get populated and what do I need to do with these text files? I am at this point thinking about useing output form Rcaster SQL DB and populate my Rcaster tables in new server. Any comments?
MRExtract is used to copy all your user information, it creates several text files that contain information about the user, role, groups and domains. (we run it all the time as we then report off the files created)
CMLOAD is a companion to CMEXTRAC and is used for report code.
If you want to migrate Rcaster information then you need to use the Report caster change management utility.
I have used all so let me know what you are trying to do and I'll see if can provide you more information.
As for the java path it is the path to where the drivers are for your repository. We use oracle so it is where the ojdbc14.jar file is.

Thank you for your help in advance. I have new production server installed. I want to move all the users, groups, and roles from my old server to new server. I am using SQL server and i have following MREXTRACT file:

I dont need domina and content information because I was able to get domain information running MREchange management and move it to my new server. What do you recomend. How can I accomplish moving users, grousp, and roles to new server?
If they're the same release level, I would simply copy the database if using MR External authentication/authorization, or the basedir if using internal.
