Welcome to Bulldozer!

Bulldozer converts data into Rock RMS from other church management systems.

Imports from FellowshipOne and CSV are currently supported.

What You'll Need To Get Started

• Read the wiki to know how to use each component
• A local or hosted version of Rock v16.3.1
• A login to the Rock SQL database
• Your old database in a supported format
• Bulldozer files ( see Bulldozer Releases )

What If I Have A Problem?

• If you have a problem with the import, please file an issue on Github: Bulldozer Issues
• Please include the type of import (F1 or CSV) in the title and your Windows environment settings in the body.
• Example issue: "CSV: Can't import prefix with special characters"

Please note that the master branch contains fully-tested code; develop branch is beta/in-progress.

Does Bulldozer crash after opening or trying to use it?

Downloaded .exe and .dll files on Windows are blocked to prevent users from accidentally downloading and running malicious applications. If you've just downloaded Bulldozer.zip, follow the guide below to unblock all the contents of the zip file at once.

If you've already extracted the contents of Bulldozer.zip, make sure to unblock each file by doing the following:

For each .exe and .dll file in the directory:

1. Right-click on the individual file
2. Select Properties to open the properties window.
3. Check the "Unblock" checkbox.
4. Click "Apply".
5. Click "OK".

Attribute Caret Parsing Logic

                    if ( pairs.Length == 1 )
                    {
                        attributeName = pairs[0];
                    }
                    else if ( pairs.Length == 2 )
                    {
                        attributeName = pairs[0];
                        attributeTypeString = pairs[1];
                    }
                    else if ( pairs.Length >= 3 )
                    {
                        categoryName = pairs[1];
                        attributeName = pairs[2];
                        if ( pairs.Length >= 4 )
                        {
                            attributeTypeString = pairs[3];
                        }
                        if ( pairs.Length >= 5 )
                        {
                            attributeForeignKey = pairs[4];
                        }
                        if ( pairs.Length >= 6 )
                        {
                            definedValueForeignIdString = pairs[5];
                        }
                    }

Attribute Caret Parsing in plain English

1. If no caret is in the Attribute Name (Baptism Pastor), just tries to match to an existing attribute by the name. If created, it's created as Text
2. If only one caret is in the Attribute Name (Baptism Pastor^V), the Attribute Name and Attribute Type are used.
3. If two carets are in the Attribute Name (^Membership^Baptism Pastor), Attribute Category and Attribute Name are used.
4. If three carets are in the Attribute Name (^Membership^Baptism Pastor^V), Attribute Category, Attribute Name, and Attribute Type are used.
5. If four carets are in the Attribute Name (^Membership^Baptism Pastor^V^123), Attribute Category, Attribute Name, Attribute Type, and Attribute Foreign Key are used.
6. If five carets are in the Attribute Name (^Membership^Baptism Pastor^V^123^456), Attribute Category, Attribute Name, Attribute Type, Attribute Foreign Key, and Defined Type Foreign Key are used.

Notes

The power of the five carets is that the Defined Type list created for an attribute can be used by multiple Defined Value Attributes. This is helpful if there are attributes used as surveys which have the same options used multiple times.
