Converting an ADR Space FAQs

Before accessing the HTML5 modules for Modeler and Admin, you may need to upgrade your space.

This page answers frequently asked questions regarding the conversion process.

Why do I see an Upgrade required Message when using Modeler?

If you see the upgrade required message when trying to access Modeler, your space requires a metadata upgrade before you can use Modeler.

Follow the steps outlined in the modal to upgrade your space to the new metadata infrastructure. The process takes under a minute.

Why do I see an Upgrade required message when I've already converted my Space?

This is due to the fact that your space change requires processing. You will need to temporarily navigate away from the Admin module or to another space and back to your initial space for the newly converted space to see the new properties take effect. This may also happen after copying a space.

When making changes to variables, I receive the error: "Failed to save variable. Unable to create space variables"

This error message is due to your space not using the new metadata infrastructure. For instructions on converting, see Converting ADR Spaces to New Metadata Infrastructure.

When managing security filters in Admin, I get the error: "Failed to save security filter. Unable to locate source for Hierarchy.AttributeName"

This error message is due to your space not using the new metadata infrastructure. For instructions on converting, see Converting ADR Spaces to New Metadata Infrastructure.

Will my space be converted to a Modeler/Professional Space?

No. This process only upgrades your space's metadata. The data model and all other space properties remain unchanged.

Do I need to upgrade all of my Spaces?

Yes. This conversion happens on the space level. You must repeat the process for each space you would like to convert.

Why don't I see the "Convert Space to new metadata infrastructure" checkbox in my space properties?

If the Convert Space to new metadata infrastructure option is not available, you need to update your Process Engine Version in Admin > Modify Properties.
