paulIUpgrading from DevStu 7.6.1 to 7.6.7
Has anyone done an upgrade from 7.6.1 to 7.6.7 of dev studio? We have only a production instance of web focus and are going to be forced to implement directly in production (please no comments about foolish, I have 30 yrs in IT and am being forced to do it this way). Thank you in advance for any assistance and/or tips that you may have.

FrankDutchWe did an update from 7.1.5 to 7.6.5
We spend several days on testing all fexes on dashboard and reportcaster, ETL processes and several others you should do.
The number of errors we found were no more than 20, we fixed them and did the upgrade in real live.
If we had not done it this way the problems we found would not have been very important and should have been fixed on the same day.
What we did not found in the tests were the few problems we got with user logins.
It worked a bit different. (We game from 7.1 tot 7.6).
I suppose 7.6.1 to 7.6.7 is in fact a minor update.

Brian SuterThere is a hotfix available for 767 devstudio. You need it if the java application server you are connecting to is configured for codepage 65001 (utf-8). Contact support.

bbollmannWe went from Dev Studio 7.6.4 to 7.6.7 and had to re-install 7.6.4.
Found that Dev Studio couldn't open report painter with simple code as below:
