V4 Prerequisites

Upgrade Path

You cannot upgrade from V2 directly to V4. You must upgrade via V3. Please upgrade to v3 first. Ensure that you check the V4 Requirements Document first, as the requirements have changed.

Check Outs

You must make sure that there are no files, managed folders or 12d model projects checked out before beginning this upgrade, or you may experience some data loss/

You can determine what is checked out by running a search using the System View.

Scripts

Due to changes introduced in V4, Scripted Reports, Tasks and Events may need to be recompiled before they can be used. If these were supplied by 12d Solutions, please contact them at the Support Portal or on support@12dsynergy.com

Workspaces

V4 uses a new mechanism to remove the variable numbering in the workspace. As a result, workspaces will be downloaded again (as necessary). If you do not intend to use V3 alongside V4, then you may wish to consider removing the old workspaces from your computers before upgrading.

12d Synergy Variables and Attributes

Due to the new powerful 12d Synergy Expression, all templates, dashboard and so on can now use variables within { }. Previously, variables were denoted with a single $. 12d Synergy will still honour the old $ variable format, but the editors will not display them in most cases to encourage the use of the new braces system.
