You can migrate your customized template set.
-
Confirm that you are using your template set. Select .
-
In the Environment sets list check mark the
environment set for your template, or create one pointing GSTSETUPDIR to your template set.
-
Open the settings.agconf file and modify the version attribute of the root
element to 5. <AGSettings version="5">
-
Open the other settings files in the Code Editor and check if there are errors (file-types.xml,
creatable.conf, and build.rules).
-
In case of errors, review the template setting files to which you want to migrate and modify
your settings to match the new file format.
-
A new template may generate different code. If you have modified the template files, you may
lose those changes when using a new template set. If you want to use a new template, you may have to
manually integrate your changes into the new template set.
If the Application Generator model is identical or there is no impact on your template files
or you are not interested in the new template features, you can keep your templates unchanged. If
you have modified the generated source (4gl) code in a BLOCK or a POINT, changing the current
template does not delete your changes. If the corresponding BLOCK/POINT still exists in the
template, your changes will be integrated during the next compilation. If the BLOCK/POINT has been
removed from the template, it will appear at the end of the file in a lost BLOCK/POINT, that you can
reintegrate into your code (with copy/paste, for example).
