Servoy 6.1.x to Servoy 7.3 upgrade

[Jan Blok]

We are pleased to announce the upgrade path for Servoy 6.1.x to Servoy 7.3

As highlighted in blogpost:
http://servoyblog.wordpress.com/2013/11 ... cy-update/
Servoy 7.x is considered the same as Servoy 6.1.6 + Servoy mobile.

In order to update Servoy 6.1.x we strongly advice (as always) to make a backup of your current Servoy installation. (directory and database)

To update Servoy 6.1.x Developer, change the Servoy update site url to:
http://www.servoy.com/developer/70x_updates
via Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites
Then "Check for updates" via help menu.

To update Servoy 6.1.x server follow the steps:
1) run the servoy_updater in the installation directory
2) change the servoy_server.bat/.sh to include the lib "wiquery.jar" in classpath (OR change the wrapper.conf to include the lib "wiquery.jar" in classpath)
3) start the server and pass the "-upgradeRepository" flag (as told when you omit)
When completed, start the server normally

There are 4 fixed issues in Servoy 7 which might cause different solution behaviour:
1) SVY-4288 Column converters aren't called to translate values when using FoundsetUpdater
2) SVY-3787 Converters ignored when using find or addFoundSetFilter
3) SVY-3673 Client Design lost state
4) SVY-5036 User properties usage from headlessclients like batchprocessors are no longer stored in servoy.properties
Check these issues to make sure you are not affected or adapt your solution accordingly.

I upgraded my Servoy installation exactly as described above. I upgraded from Servoy Server Version: 6.1.3 (build 1424) to 7.3 (build 2018). It all seems to be working.

I got this warning:

Is this warning expected? I thought so. I clicked 'continue' with the installation. It all seems to be Ok. Just FYI.

Just upgrade. It will work.

Thanks for sharing your experience, glad it worked.
Several external eclipse plugins are indeed unsigned, like SVN...not something we can change.
