Validate InForm 4.6 study elements

InForm 4.6 studies may include custom elements which may conflict with InForm core elements in later InForm releases. These conflicts will cause a deployment failure during the migration due to an Element already exists - elements cannot be changed error.

To avoid deployment errors when you migrate an InForm 4.6 study to InForm 6.1.1.2 you must validate the InForm 4.6 study objects:

Copy the InForm\InstallSupport folder from the downloaded product image to the InForm application server.
Run the DetectReservedElements.cmd command (located in the InForm\InstallSupport folder on the InForm application server) using the following syntax:
DetectReservedElements <TNS_Service_Name>

where:
- TNS_Service_Name—TNS name for the database instance.
You are prompted for the following values:
- trial user ID=Owner of the InForm study database schema.
- trial user password=Password for the owner of the InForm study database schema.
The DetectReservedElements command creates a reserved_element_strings.txt file (located in the InForm\InstallSupport folder) that lists all the elements in the InForm 4.6 study that conflict with core elements in the InForm 6.1.1.2 study.

If the script identifies element conflicts, contact Oracle Global Support before you migrate to the InForm 6.1.1.2 release.
