Upgrade to 4.0 in corporate

[Ronaldo Juliatto]

Hi!

I read from a previous post that when an 3.60 EAP file is opened with the EA 4.0, it is converted to version 4.0, and so the older version will not be able to open it anymore. Of course, it will open the backup version. In the very worst case, the people using version 3.60 could export packages and other elements to be imported into 4.0 version until everybody had the new version of the program.

What happens with the corporate edition, when there is a central database keeping the repository? The first 4.0 version program that access it changes the database? Is there any kind of backup that could be accessed by the people using version 3.60?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ronaldo,

what we have done, we have exported the DB-based repository into an .eap file prior to the conversion. This way, we could always load it back to the database if we wanted to return to 3.60
