Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Deploying Repository objects between Progress Dynamics versions

With the release of both the OpenEdge Release 10 and Progress Dynamics Version 2.1 release families, both you and Progress Software Development might find it necessary to fix bugs and add features to both development streams at the same time. When a bug fix results in a source code change, the task is no different than for any other development environment. However, when the bug fix affects data in the Repository, the situation is more complicated, because Repository objects must be deployed between different versions of the Repository (Release 10 and Version 2).

To address this situation, Progress Software Corporation provides deployment tools that manage the differences in Repository versions and recommends a specific set of ordered tasks to manage the deployment of objects between them.
