Re: Porting the current application to higher version of versata

Nishant;

I think you will find that there are still a number of Versata
developers that work on upgrading Versata to a new release.

I would contact Val Huber directly and talk about the new features
available in Versata 6.3 - I have found that the biggest problem is
the applications (Java and/or HTML). The original Studio is still
used to support these older applications and the synchronization of
meta-data between the new Eclipse editor and the Studio is getting
better. It still means that you are working in two worlds (old and
new).

The next challenge will be the upgrade of your server (WebSphere) and
JDK - while this may be trivial - what I have found is that the
interfaces to other packages that my current application is running
may not support the new JDK or Server version. So make sure all of
your application is capable of moving.

Finally - be prepared to do some manual work arounds - if the API has
changed - you may find that writing a wrapper class will not 'fix'
the problem if both behaviour and API have changed. One example - an
early 6.x release changed how the save() command worked - this was
fixed in a patch - but it created a moment of panic for some
customers.

Please use this forum to ask questions and post solutions.

Thanks for the question
Tyler Band

Hi Nishant, I converted a few decently big repositories for a client and it wasn't too bad. The biggest issue, like Max mentioned, would be custom code. Still,...
