Question

During the migration process from TBM v5 to v6, I got stuck at the JSON import stage. 
 At some point during the import, TBM opened a browser window asking to Sign in with Google. 
 In TBM v5 I used Google calendar for the job tasks, so I was able to track my availability. 
 When I successfully authenticate SDL Trados Business Manager to use my Google account, TBM opens another browser window to authenticate again... 
 ...and repeats this seemingly endlessly. 
 I suspect it does this for every job task with an associated calendar event. 
 After having successfully authenticated 30-40 connections, I killed the TBM instance in the Windows task manager. 
 When I reopen TBM, the data is not completely imported. 
 Please help!

Hi Ivaylo! 
 Great to hear you. 
 Yes, the problem. Instead of trying to release an update, let's try this. Please open exported json file in the notepad (please no Windows notepad, use something like Notepad++, otherwise it will be too slow). The find "ExportImportUserSet" node there, and try to disable sync with online calendar. For this, set UseGoogleCalendar and UseGoogleCalendarInvoice, as on the following image. Then save it and try to re-import. Hopefully, it will work.
