- On the 'old' server, the default path for the Configs folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hyperspheric Solutions Ltd\GO 4 Schools Feed System
Make a copy of this folder - On the 'new' server, download and install the feed system from GO 4 Schools Feed System MSI Installer article.
- Replace the Configs folder on the new server with the one copied from the old server. Usually found on the same path/location as in step 1.
- Launch the feed system as admin.
- Check each tab to ensure that the settings/user credentials are populated.
- Create a 'GO4Schools' temporary feeds folder either on the C: drive or data drive. (IMPORTANT- The temp folder must be on a local drive not on a network drive).
- Select the temporary feeds folder on the ‘Schedule Tasks’ tab and click ‘Save Preferences’.

- Check the SIMS installation path is correct and that the new SIMS server name and Database name are entered on the ‘MIS Settings’ tab. Then update the SIMS report by clicking Re-import report definitions.

- If your schools uses the GO 4 Schools attendance module, please ensure that the ‘Webservice URL’ is populated with this address (https://www.go4schools.com/interface/SIMS/SIMSService.asmx), enabled and schedules/times entered on the ‘Attendance Module’ tab.
- Run ‘GO - Daily Feed’ from Windows Task Scheduler.
- Email support@go4schools.com or raise a support ticket with the GO 4 Schools support team to check if the feeds were successful.
