In OnBase 18, WorkView views and resources are now stored in the database instead of in system paths. If you are upgrading to OnBase 18 and your system contains views that were created in previous versions of OnBase, you must update these views by running the View Updater in the WorkView Doctor within OnBase Studio.
In an IPUP environment, previous views can only be accessed and modified using an Application Server and Client version prior to 18.
You will not be able to edit views in version 18 until the views are updated. Updating your views in the WorkView Doctor will ensure that they render properly, and it will migrate to the OnBase database all views and image resources that were stored in your System Paths directories.
The files that are in System Paths directories and the paths defined in the System Paths for WorkView will remain. Once these configuration items are moved to the database, they will be retrieved from the database at runtime. In order to provide backwards compatibility, the files should be left in their directories, and the System Paths should be maintained. This allows administrators using a version previous to OnBase 18 to be able to access these configuration items. All configuration of views should be done from an OnBase Studio version 18 or greater.
The conversion of views does not delete the old version of the view. After conversion, if you open WorkView in a version previous to 18, you will see the previous version of the view. Although it is editable, any changes you make cannot be converted to version 18 once the initial conversion is made. Once you have converted the views in 18, you must edit the views in version 18 or the changes will not be reflected in the client.
Until you update your views in version 18, views and actions will not be displayed in the Repositories. pane.
For more information on running the View Updater, see the section on updating views in the WorkView | Case Manager module reference guide.
