Chapter 3 Tasks : Migrating from Previous Versions of TIBCO Business Studio Forms

Migrating from Previous Versions of TIBCO Business Studio Forms
TIBCO Business Studio 2.x is compatible with forms created using TIBCO Business Studio Forms 1.x, with one minor qualification, as described below.
Migrating from TIBCO Business Studio Version 2.2 and 3.0 to Version 3.1
The schema model of the form model has changed in TIBCO Business Studio 3.1. Forms created in earlier versions will require migration from schema version 1.0 to version 2.0.
To Migrate a Form to Version 2.0
When you import an old form to TIBCO Business Studio Forms 2.0, you will notice that such forms appear with a red X problem marker decoration . If you select such a form and look in the Problems view, you will see a message:
This resource has an old format and requires migration.
In order to migrate from the previous release, do the following:
1.
Figure 125 Open the Quick Fix Dialog
2.
Select Quick Fix from the pop-up menu.
The Quick Fix dialog opens.
Figure 126 Quick Fix Dialog for Migration
 
3.
4.
Click Finish.
After the migration is finished, the Problem marker decorations will have been removed from the migrated forms in the Project Explorer view.
The Problems view Configure Contents... action allows you to specify what content to display in the view. For each active Configuration you can filter the view contents by restricting the Scope, Description, Severity, and marker Types displayed.
 
Changes in Migrated Forms
You will notice the following are changes within the migrated forms:
Mapping In and Mapping Out expressions will be replaced with bindings where possible.
If a Mapping In expression did more than just assign the value of a parameter, that Mapping In expression will be replaced with a computation action rule triggered by the Form open event.
If a Mapping Out expression did more than just assign the value of a control, that Mapping Out expression will be replaced with a computation action rule triggered on Form submit event.
If the special file <project>/<form folder>/META-INF/form_ext.js is detected during migration, it is added as a JavaScript resource.
