<span style="font-weight: bold;">Transitioning from IFPS15 to IFPS16:<br>
|
|
</span>There are major structural changes in the formatters from IFPS15
|
|
to IFPS16. Information on transitioning your formatters can be
|
|
found in the Power Point presentation at: <a

IFPS14/RPP21:</font></b> <br>
|
|
Products that ran in IFPS13 will NOT run in the current
|
|
infrastructure. You must delete (or rename) all your existing
|
|
Local files and customize the core products delivered with the
|
|
release. It may be helpful to simply re-name your Local
|
|
files so you can refer to them when customizing the new core products.
|
|
Be aware that most of the methods have changed, so the actual
|
|
customization code cannot be copied from the old Local file to the
|
|
new. However, you will have a record of the kinds of
|
|
customizations you may need to make to the new products. Make
|
|
sure
|
|
that you delete infrastructure overrides such as the "Holidays" file
|
|
which changed in this version.
|
|
<p><b><font color="#000000">Products from IFPS14/RPP21 and beyond:</font></b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Products that run in IFPS14/RPP21 and beyond should be
|
|
compatible with the current release. The few exceptions are
|
|
highlighted in the Release Notes. </p>
|
|
<p><b>Products Created in RPP17 or Prior:</b> <br>
|
|
If your site is running existing products using the infrastructure from
|
|
RPP17 or before, they will continue to work for a few more
|
|
releases. However, after reading the Advanced Text Product
|
|
Documentation (to be supplied), you should convert these products to
|
|
the
|
|
new infrastructure as the old infrastructure will eventually be
|
|
discontinued. </p>
