Setting Visibility Modes for Access Control


Upgrades: Release 6.2.1 only.

Environments: Development environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

Certain areas of the Release 7.8 default configuration use Catalog visibility. If you want to continue to use Organization visibility, you must make changes to the business component, view, and picklist properties in order to use Organization visibility. This applies to the following objects:

  • Business Components with Catalog Visibility
  • Applet picklists with Auto Query Mode or New Query set to None
  • Views with Catalog Visibility

After the upgrade, you must carefully evaluate the following business components, views, and picklists, all of which use catalog visibility as the default configuration.
