17 Migration

You can migrate an Excel workbook that you integrated with a REST service using a 1.x version of the Oracle Visual Builder Add-in to use the current version 2.1.

Once you migrate an Excel workbook to the current release, you can no longer use it with the 1.x version of the add-in.

Before you install the current release of the add-in:

• Upload any pending changes from the Excel workbooks that use version 1.x of the add-in
• Click Clear in the Oracle Visual Builder tab for all layouts in the Excel workbook before you migrate
• Before you migrate an Excel workbook, make sure you are prepared to log in to server configured in the Excel workbook
• If you need to change the service host (the server name that the REST service uses), be sure to do so with version 1.x of the add-in. You cannot change the service host during migration using version 2.0 or later of the add-in

After you install version 2.1 of the add-in:

• During migration of a 1.x workbook, if you fail to log in to the REST service, migration fails. Close the workbook without saving changes and try again later.
• For any layouts containing data, download fresh data before making any changes and attempting to upload
