GOAL:
4GL/ABL: Can a 4GL 9.x application be migrated to OpenEdge 10.x?
GOAL:
What are the guidelines to migrate a Progress 9.x application to OpenEdge 10.x?
GOAL:
Can a 4GL 9.x application that includes ADM2 Smart Objects work under OpenEdge 10.x?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
All applications developed under 9.x, whether including ADM2 Smart Objects or not, can be migrated to OpenEdge 10.x by simply recompiling the source code of the application under the target platform.
Progress recommends that you save all the application modules and recompile them under the target OpenEdge 10.x platform. It is also important that before you migrate and deploy the application in a live environment, you create a test environment and test the application exhaustively to avoid any possible problems in the production environment.
In general, you should not experience any problems migrating any 9.x 4GL application to OpenEdge 10.x. If the 9.x application includes customized smart objects, it is suggested to redo the customization of these objects under the target OpenEdge 10.x platform to incorporate the new methods, dynamic-functions, procedures and classes introduced in the ADM2 of OpenEdge 10.x.
