Converting your Developer Studio project

If you have installed version 6.0 of Developer Studio, you can upgrade your 5.1 project.

Before converting your project to Developer Studio version 6.0, ensure that you have already provisioned your application. Developer Studio 6.0 is compatible with MDEX Engine 6.1.

To convert your Developer Studio project to version 6.0:

  1. Start Developer Studio version 6.0.
  2. Open the project you want to convert. Developer Studio issues a message stating that the project will be converted to the new format. Click OK, and specify the location to which you want to save your updated project.
  3. There may be further migration necessary before you can process your data in version 6.0. For more information, consult this guide, as well as the 6.0 version of the Endeca Migration Guide. Do not proceed until you have completed all necessary migration steps.
  4. Select Tools > IAP Workbench Settings.
  5. In the Endeca IAP Workbench Settings dialog box, make sure that the machine name and port information for your Workbench host and port are correct. (The default port number is 8006.) Also make sure you select the appropriate application to associate with this project, because Endeca Workbench can support multiple applications. For more information on applications handling in Workbench, see the Workbench Administrator's Guide.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. From the Tools > IAP Workbench menu, select Set Instance Configuration. This uploads the instance configuration from Developer Studio to Endeca Workbench.
