Tools Interface Version

The TIV number of the package VRC.

During the dump or compilation of a session or form, the TIV number determines the actual functionality in the session/form dump. If the TIV number is not set, or is equal to zero, sessions and forms are dumped in the highest available version.

The TIV number on VRC level is important on maintenance systems where different versions, or feature packs, are customized and/or maintained. The TIV number ensures the sessions/forms are dumped in the correct version.

For details about the TIV, see the Infor ES Programmers Guide (Infor Support Portal KB 22924522).
