Upgrade Project

Upgrade Project

The Upgrade Project process converts an existing Project from version 1.0 to the new Project version 2.0. Project version 2.0 provides additional functions for manipulating values, flexible expressions and enhanced job controls. Projects created in this version of
Managed File Transfer
and later are automatically set at version 2.0.
The Project upgrade process is comprised of a few different steps. First, the Project is validated and then the user can select whether to make a backup of the Project before upgrading. It is highly recommended to make a backup of a Project to restore it later if the upgraded version produces undesirable results. Secondly, the upgrade process is performed and the user can choose to save the upgraded Project or cancel the upgrade.
During the upgrade, the following components will be modified in the Project:
  • Any Module with a "Depends On" setting will be updated with one or more Call Module Tasks. For example, if the Project's Main module depends on modules A and B, then the "Depends On" will be removed from the Main module and two Call Module tasks would be inserted to the beginning of the Main module (one to call module A and another to call module B).
  • Any expression used for conditioning, such as the "Execute Only If" statement, will be updated to use the new Expression syntax. For example, the previous syntax ${var1} ge ${var2} will be converted to the new expression of ${var1 ge var2}.
  • RowSets using the column name, instead of the column index, will be converted in the upgrade process to place quotes around the column name (for example, ${data[columnName]} becomes ${data["columnName"]}).
    • Variables, module names and resource names will no longer be case sensitive.
      When the upgrade is complete, an Upgrade Log is displayed. The Upgrade Log displays any issues encountered while upgrading the Project and provides options to Download the upgrade log in text format, Save and Finish the Project upgrade process, or Cancel the upgrade.
