MIGRATING SOLUTIONS TO THE NEW VERSION
Using the new Designer with previous solutions
IMPORTANT:
Solutions that are created or upgraded to the new Designer can no longer be opened in previous versions of the Designer or Server.
Opening Previous Solutions
-
Make a backup copy of your solution file (.lsoz). The new release will make changes to the solution file that cannot be undone. You will be warned about this in the popup.
-
The solution will automatically be upgraded to be used in the new Linx Designer.
-
Review your solution including port numbers (See: Server Port Changes below). If you are calling a Linx process through web services, change to the new port number.
Deploying Solutions
-
When using the latest version of the Designer, you can only deploy to the new Server.
-
To upgrade and install the new Server, click Deploy within the Designer or visit https://linx.software/server-trial/.
Server Port Changes
Like the Designer, the new Server can be installed side by side with a previous version. To do so, you must allocate a different port number (e.g. 8032). The default port for previous versions is 8022.
- To deploy,
a) Click Deploy from the Designer.
b) Add your new Linx Server (https://localhost:yournewport).
In the Linx Server:
c) The solution should start automatically.
d) Start the services in the solution.
- Log into your previous version of the Linx Server. Stop all the services of your solution, or alternatively remove the solution completely.
