Updating the IPD version through configuration changes

You can update the IPD version outside of code change through configuration changes.
  1. In the Configuration Parameter Form, click Create.
  2. Specify this information:
    Tenant Id
    Specify ALL.
    Data Area
    Specify ALL.
    Parameter Category
    Specify IPD.
    Parameter Name
    Select Version Number.
    Parameter Type
    Select Number.
    Parameter Value
    Specify the server-side version.
    The environment is represented by the first digit (1 = Terrace Park, 2 = Pedro Park). The subsequent set of numbers refers to the year and month (YYYYMM) in which the customer update will be made. The month's build number is represented by the last two digits. 01 must be used if this is the first build number for that month. As more builds are released for that month, this number will increase.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Log in to Infor Process Designer.
    The client and server-side versions are compared.
    • If the version matches, the login is accepted and IPD starts up as normal.
    • If there is a version difference and the server version is available:
      • A link is displayed for the matching IPD.jar to be downloaded
      • Other options include Work Offline, Cancel (return to the login screen), and Exit IPD
    • If there is a version difference and the server version is not available:
      • Other options include Work Offline and Cancel (return to the login screen)
    Note: If the server version is incompatible, such as when the server is earlier or later than IPD or the check cannot be performed, then the user cannot continue using IPD while logged in. The user can either work offline, try another server to connect to, or exit IPD.
