Migration from previous FESA3 versions

FESA3 3.1.0 4.0.0

Basic migration steps

To migrate existing FESA software from the previous FESA3 version 3.1.0 to the latest version FESA3 4.0.0 perform the following steps:

• Open the FESA class design
• Press 'Update FESA Version'
• Press 'Synchronize Source Code'
• Open the FESA deploy-unit
• Press 'Update FESA Version'
• Press 'Synchronize Source Code'
• Open the FESA instantiation document
• Press 'Update FESA Version'
• Press 'Promote Instances'

Detailed information

• 'Update FESA Version' will increase the FESA version number of classes and deploy-units, copy your file to *.backup and then run a python script to automatically modify the XML design if required. Please check the Eclipse console output for details.
• 'Synchronize Source Code' will update the generated C++ code and the XML design of the deploy-unit and/or instantiation file according to the changes in the current XML design.
• 'Promote Instances' will modify the FESA instantiation file if required according to the updated XML schema

The following issues are automatically performed by the migration tool:

• class design: if available: the subset configuration field will be renamed from subset to subset-configuration-field
• class design: changes for the values-check attribute
• class source code: the include paths to array files will be updated
