GOAL:
ADM migration to ADM2
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
FIX:
According to V9 ADM2 Guide and reference:
-----------------------------------------
With Version 9.1A Progress provides a SmartObject Utility that aids in converting Version 8 to Version 9 Objects.
This is an optional Utility which is located in ProTools (SmartObjects Upgrade Utility).
Recompiled V8 SO will work in V9. You should carefully consider whether you have specific development or application needs that require you to convert objects. If you need to convert them, make sure before beginning the conversion to devise a conversion strategy to accomplish your tasks.
There is 2 aspects to consider in a Conversion Strategy:
-------------------------------------------------------
A. You should address how you will use the conversion Utility.
B. How you will test the final conversion.
CAUTION:
========
* If you have customized any part of V8 ADM Method Libraries, added local procedures to SO, added code to a SO instance, or any other customizations, Progress Software Corporation does not guarantee that converted code will work as it did in V8. The conversion Utility cannot completely convert most SO due to the lack of necessary information (Introduction in V9 of SDOs which didn't exist in V8, many modifications in the ADM2 SuperProcedures and introduction of New Classes of Objects).
* Progress Software Corporation recommends that you use the Conversion Utility only as an aid, with the understanding that you will have to introduce manual adjustments to your Customized SO application well beyond what the Conversion Utility provides.
Note in addition, that Progress Software Technical Support provides only General, High-Level Assistance for the conversion of SO applications and does NOT PROVIDE code fixes.
* For detailed Assistance with converting SO, you must contact Progress Software Consulting Services.
