@MikeGross I’m glad they are considering the implications of that transition. I’m surprised nothing firms been put out yet, especially if the on prem is coming out June 10th.
I have no doubts a translation layer would work fine with a simple configurator. Some of ours have 300+ inputs per page though, I wonder how well it would handle that.
Well ours ain’t that bad, but we’re getting close to 100, so still the same boat I suspect. We’ll just have to wait an see if they publish anything with the June release.
I’ve been told no documentation until GA which I find a little confusing. It would be nice to be able to have some notice about what functionality is to be included prior to the software being available
There is apparently a translator program to uplift configuration to the new version, but it was described as not a live translation layer - rather something that would update the configurator for E11 and require rework once updated. I have my doubts that a translator program could be effective when translating configurators with complexity (specifically how it handling toggling visibility of inputs). Additionally I was told the 2D Viewer will not be available which is problematic as it is the center point of a couple of our configurators.
yep - sounds like what I got too. I didn’t get into the details on the toggling/2D viewer stuff, but a ‘translator that will need some work’ is the gist of what I got too.
Don’t tell me you used their ABL to C# Converter… that was the worst code in history of C#. So I can only imagine how good the conversion for a Customization or Cfg may be, I think rewriting it may be a better option.
Like good customers, we tried. It did pretty well with the CFG code but hacked all the custom code in the UI/BPM customizations - so in the end we ended up using it like a tutor - teaching my guy C# since all he knew was ABL (and RPG).
I didn’t see an client upgrade so I’m tried using the current shortcut. This is our PILOT instance, on a SaaS environment. We were advised that cloud users are getting their PILOT services updated today.
