How to migrate from 3.x to 4.x

Classic Servoy
1

Hi there,

I have successfully imported 3.5 servoy solution into into 4.1. I just can’t figure out a way for the forms and methods to show up in the developer. Is there a guide of some kind. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards.
Thanks

I suppose you imported your solution in the repository using the servoy-admin page?
They are not in developer’s workspace yet.

For this you will have to check out the solution from the team server: launch developer, in the solution explorer, right-click on the ‘All solutions’ folder/node and choose ‘Checkout’. A window will ask you to connect to localhost (which should be fine if you have imported on the localhost repository), click ‘Next >’ and choose the solution to check out in your workspace (Choose HEAD if you want read/write access).

You can find all the information relative to the usage of Servoy 4.x, 5.x and 5.1.x on the wiki:

If you imported your solution in the repository using the servoy-admin page, then you also set up the Admin Setting “servoy.application_server.startRepositoryAsTeamProvider:” = False.

If you set the startRepositoryAsTeamProvider = false, what Patrick is recommending may not work (I am not sure about this. You can try it).

If you are not going to use the solution in the repository (for development purpose), you always can import your solution from Developer. Go to: File>Import…
BTW, IMHO: importing your solution from the admin is ok, especially if you are not sharing development with anybody and want to keep your development server disconnected from your production server.

Hi Carlos!
Importing solutions to your workspace in developer using “File>Import…” was not possible in 4.1.x

This feature was introduced with 5.x I believe.
So to import in 4.1, you do need “servoy.application_server.startRepositoryAsTeamProvider = true” in servoy.properties and checkout the solution previously imported using the server admin (a far fetched process, I agree).

Actually If I was pavelzver here, I would actually go straight from 3.x to 5.1.x, then he could import directly in developer, and other niceties ;-)
