Preparing for service packs and upgrades

During an upgrade or when applying a service pack, you can use the FormSync utility to convert your custom forms or objects for use with the new version or the application.

Before you use the FormSync utility, perform these steps to preserve your custom context-sensitive help:

  1. Perform a SQL backup of the rows for your custom help topics in the Forms and FormComponents tables (perform a SQL query on your custom help folder name to find the appropriate rows).
  2. Run the FormSync utility as described in the Infor SyteLine Installation Guide and in the online help for FormSync.
  3. After you run FormSync, import the appropriate rows for your custom help topics back into the new Forms and FormComponents table.
