Re: Does SLX version 7.5 supports my legacy forms of version 6.2 ? Help needed.

Yes - your forms will work, but you need to go through the documentation thoroughly to see which forms are updated during the upgrade. The documentation is very good about letting you know what is new in the forms. Although you can often just re-release your custom forms there may be new items in the 7.x forms that you'd like to incorporate. For older scripts there is a script converter that you can also use.
I am unit testing my 7.5 upgrade now. I tried approaching my custom forms in several ways. The approach that I took was to apply all of the upgrade bundles in their entirety. I then performed a full regression test that included all of my customized functionality, forms, etc. with the SLX plug-ins and modified/added all of my custom forms into a project to be bundled up. By releasing everything that comes in the upgrade and then applying your custom bundle you minimize your deployment risks when upgrading your Test and Prod environments - ensuring that no plug-ins are different or omitted.
Overall, I have had little difficulty in pulling my custom plug-ins (from our last version 6.2.6) into 7.5.1. ...and I'm not even a developer - I'm a BA with enough knowledge to be dangerous.

The answer to the first question is yes.
The second question is it depends. I'm working a couple of these right now. 7.x has new Active Forms that replace OOTB legacy forms used in 6.2. If these have been customized you may want to give the users the new form with your customizations recreated on them. If you have legacy scripts that perform complex custom functions, you may need to adjust the Active forms and the legacy scripts to work together, but when you get it right they do work together.
I've come across a coupel of situations where legacy runs slightly differently in 7.x and required tweaking, but other than the issue I've described in the post I put in this forum yesterday, all of the legacy I've wanted to run in 7.x works. |
