Installation and Set Up to Migrate from 3.2 or 3.3 to 3.4

Complete these steps to migrate your General Interface 3.2 or 3.3 projects to 3.4:

  1. Make backup copies of all projects you are migrating.
  2. Install General Interface 3.4. For more information about installing General Interface, see the General Interface Installation Guide.
  3. Double-click GI_Builder.html or GI_Builder.xhtml in the installation directory to start General Interface Builder in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
  4. Choose or create a workspace directory after General Interface Builder initializes. For more information on workspaces, see the General Interface Developer Guide.
    Create a new workspace to get the updated 3.4 sample applications. Choosing an existing workspace doesn't replace previous sample applications with updated 3.4 sample applications. This built-in functionality is designed to prevent workspace files from getting overwritten.
  5. If you chose an existing workspace, copy any custom add-ins to the 3.4 JSX/addins directory. Typically, add-ins to be used by a team of developers would be saved to the JSX/addins directory and posted by an administrator to a location accessible to the team.
  6. If you created a new workspace, complete these steps:
    1. Copy projects that you would like to migrate to 3.4 from your previous workspace/JSXAPPS folder into your new workspace/JSXAPPS folder.
    2. Copy any custom user prototypes from your workspace/prototypes directory to the new workspace/prototypes directory. Components saved to this folder display in the User folder of the Component Libraries palette.
    3. Copy any custom add-ins to the 3.4 JSX/addins or new workspace/addins directory. Typically, add-ins to be used by a team of developers would be saved to the JSX/addins directory and posted by an administrator to a location accessible to the team. Add-ins for individual use can be saved to the workspace/addins directory.
