3.6. Compatibility with Previous Version

This product provides the mechanism to keep compatibility with the applications that were created by the previous version.

3.6.1. API Compatibility

With regard to APIs, compatibilities between 2 versions are maintained except for some APIs.
(Please pay special attention to the fact that compatibility is basically maintained for recommended APIs.)
  • Compatibility Module
Deprecated functions and APIs are provided as compatibility module.
Only in the case compatible APIs are required, they will be made available in IM-Juggling by including them in the compatibility module.
Some of the compatible APIs are included in the official module.

Note

  • In case compatibility module is used, migration from 7.2.x should be made.

  • In 7.2.x, please initiate the migration from the state in which IM-Common Master and Application Common Master are synchronized.

  • Compatibility module cannot be used after the new installation.

  • Types of Compatibility Modules

    • Compatibility Module for Standard Version (Document Workflow (BPW) is not included)

      It can be selected in case Accel Platform Standard Module Pack has been selected.
    • Compatibility Module for Advanced Version (Document Workflow (BPW) is included)

      It can be selected in case Accel Platform Advanced Module Pack has been selected.

3.6.1.1. Deprecated Functions and APIs

  • Storage NetworkFile (VirtualFile)

    Support as Deprecated

    Part of the specifications is different by the architectural change. (handling of path separator)

  • Access Security

Support as Deprecated

Access authority functions cannot be made compatible, because they are integrated into authorization.
(Menu authorization, Web service authorization, Access controller authorization)
New APIs are created to clearly show the old and new API specifications by architectural change and function addition.
(Database access, Account, Calendar, Role, Batch)
  • Application Common Master Document Workflow (BPW)

Support as Deprecated

Update-type APIs in Application Common Master cannot be used.
Please make the update from IM-Common Master side, because Application Common Master and IM-Common Master are synchronized.
Department classifications of Application Common Master and IM-Common Master are not synchronized.
Although they were synchronized in 7.2, they are no longer synchronized because of the change of architecture in department classification.

Note

  • IM-Workflow IM-Common Master will be the official functions.
