Setting Visibility Modes for Access Control
NOTE: This step applies primarily to development environment upgrades.
Changes regarding visibility settings are saved and embedded in an exported repository, so this step is not necessary after a production environment upgrade if you already completed a development environment upgrade. Instead, you should review and verify your visibility properties.Before you deploy the upgraded configuration in a test or production environment, you need to make a decision about what type of visibility to use on certain business components, views, and applet picklists. This requires some evaluation. Certain areas of the Release 7.x default configuration use Catalog visibility.
- If you are prepared to define the catalog, category, and access group structure in parallel with the postupgrade development and testing phase before production rollout, then changes to visibility properties might not be necessary. This decision is implementation-specific. This decision should be carefully evaluated by your entire internal implementation team.
- If you wish to continue to use Organization visibility, you must make changes to the business component, view, and picklist properties in order to use Organization visibility.
After the upgrade, the following business components, views, and picklists—all of which use catalog visibility as the default configuration in Release 7.x—need to be carefully evaluated if they are used in your implementation.
