IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD MAKE SECURE BACKUP COPIES OF ALL LIBRARIES BEFORE CONVERSION.

The O7Analyser library must be run using a development version of Omnis 7^3.5.4 or higher.
Make a back up of the Omnis7 library that you are going to convert to Omnis Studio. The analyzer will modify your library so you should not run it against the only copy of your library.
Before running the Analyzer on your library, copy all the formats to a new library file using the COPYLIB.LBR that you will find in the CONVERT folder in the Omnis 7.3 installation folder. If you do not do this then you may get error messages displayed by the Omnis Studio core in the Trace Log when you convert your library.
Start up Omnis7^3. Open the library 'O7Analyze.lbr' The splash screen should appear , if it doesn't, install the STARTUP menu. (The O7Analyzer menu will be installed automatically.)
From the O7Analyze menu chose the option 'Analyze..'
A dialog box will open .From the list, choose the library that you wish to convert. If it is not displayed in the list, press the 'Open' button and navigate to the library.
Note: If your library was not developed using Omnis 7^3, then It will be converted to version 7^3.x when you select it.
The library will now appear in the dialog box of available libraries to convert. Select it with the mouse and press the 'OK' button.
A progress window will appear showing the library and current format that is being analyzed. During this period which may be lengthy depending on the size of your library, the O7Analyzer is executing the pre-conversion modules against your library and is gathering data for use with the O$Converter library.
The data that has been gathered is in a datafile called O7A_YourLibraryName.df1, in the same folder as the copy of the Omnis 7^3 application that you have used to run the O7Analyzer Library that you selected for conversion.
Please move the datafile into the same folder as the library that you are converting.
Close the library that your are converting in the Omnis 7^3 environment.
It is recommended that you make a copy of the library files and change its file extension to YourLibraryName.LBS prior to moving on to the next stage.
For further information on the O7Analyzer see Pre-conversion and the O7Analyzer.
You are now ready to move on to the next stage which is Running the O$Converter against the modified library.
