Thread: WebFacing and upgrading to WDSC 5.1.2.6

  1. WebFacing and upgrading to WDSC 5.1.2.6

    So I converted my first WebFaced screens since applying the 5.1.2.6 patch
    and all of my settings have been reset. The default function key maps are
    gone and XML files are compressed into a JAR. I have 2 questions:

    In future upgrades/patches, is it possible to retain values like these so I
    don't have to reset them?

    Can future upgrades/patches take my custom stylesheet (from the styles
    directory) and bring it forward so I don't have to copy it manually?

    Hi Rob,

    W.R.T. the key maps the developer says "If he is done command key maps
    via the properties dialog we preserve those during migration. If he has
    changed his CmdKey.jsp then he needs to copy his changes from
    CmdKey.jsp_5126_bak to his new CmdKey.jsp file."

    For the most part we try to retain all the settings, the jarring bit may
    be a bug, I need to look into this.

    When there has been an update that has changed the style contents
    (improved the pagebuilder or whatever) you will find that you get the
    current default style and your old modified style is renamed to it's old
    name with "_wf-version_bak" (e.g., "_5126_bak")appended to it.

    Here is a doc about some styling problems. It probably does not affect
    you but could be of general interest for those migrating from releases
    prior to 5.1.2
