Upgrading from eDeveloper V10.1 or uniPaaS V1.x through V2.0x to Magic xpa (Magic xpa 2.x)

When you open an eDeveloper V10.1 or uniPaaS V1.x-V2.0x in Magic xpa, the Conversion Wizard automatically upgrades your project. The wizard works on eDeveloper V10.1 or uniPaaS V1.0 and above, but it is highly recommended to use it from the latest uniPaaS 1.9 version.

Before upgrading a project, you need to migrate its components and then create a new ECF of the migrated component. This is important since the project may use models from a component and they must be migrated first.

If the project uses version control, the project will be checked out automatically during the conversion process. Make sure that no files are checked out by other users.

After a project has been converted, it will no longer be possible to edit or run the project in previous versions.

After clicking Next from the Welcome screen, you will be asked if you want to create a backup of the project.

You can also select to add the End User Functionality component to the CRR. This component needs to be added for the Range, Locate and Print Data functionality to work. If you do not select it here, you can always manually add it to the CRR at a later stage. Since version: 2.0a

When the process finishes, you can indicate that you want to view the conversion log (IMP.LOG) when the wizard is closed. The IMP.LOG file provides you with information about what was removed from your project. It is saved in the project’s folder.

There are a number of considerations when migrating Web services.
