MattC, Do you have anything on what these items are? If so, and if you would pass them on, it would be a great help for those of us who will be following-suit, instead of the old trial-by-fire method...

Doug,

The conversion cannot be automated at this time. Why do you want to convert all your pages? They should run as is and if you open any to modify them, those will be converted.

It wasn't a whole lot of changes. We found it as we were doing regression testing of our reports. In some of my HTML Composed pages I did have to modify some JavaScript.


A note from the manual itself

"Although the HTML Composer is fully integrated with JavaScript, it is suggested that you do not create custom JavaScript that manipulates the HTML Composer generated controls, as WebFOCUS cannot support such custom JavaScript code. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the JavaScript code will work correctly in future releases. "

That's the question of the day. I don't see the documentation out there in the technical library, but I could have missed it. IBI presented this year on the process. There is another post about this.

Before you do any "modernization" I would contact techsupport.

Hello, meanwhile has anyone found the documentation? Could this be provided to the forum?

Thanks,
