Hi Bernhard, The upgrade can be done in two ways. 1. Workspace migration: Entire workspace can be migrated from older version to the newer version by simply launching the old workspace with the newer version. 2. Importing: The OpenEdge ABL projects, workspace settings and the other required things can be exported from old workspace and imported into the new workspace . During the migration you have to take care about the following things: 1. R-code: The old r-code from 10.2Bx is not compatible with the 11.x branches. After migration you need to rebuild entire workspace as it is a major version change. If any .pl files are there, they must be rebuild with the new versioned r-code (.you may be getting the error due to the version compatibility) 2. Database migration: Database need to be updated. The following link has steps for the database migration from 10.x to 11.x knowledgebase.progress.com/.../000031654 3. Preferences: Preferences or settings also need to be migrated between Workspaces, apart from importing the projects. Database connections, Launch configurations, OpenEdge Explorer Connections and Working Sets need to be taken care separately for 11.7.2. Database connections: Database connections for the Workspace are located in: \.metadata\.plugins\com.openedge.pdt.project\databaseConnection.xml Use the File > Import > General > Progress OpenEdge > Database Connections wizard to import them. Launch configurations: Launch configuration files will have the extension .launch and will be located in: \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches Use the File > Import > Run/Debug > Launch Configurations wizard to import them. OpenEdge Explorer Connections: OpenEdge Explorer connections are defined / located in: \.metadata\.plugins\com.openedge.pdt.server Go to Windows > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Server > OpenEdge Explorer Connections and use the Import wizard. Working Sets: Working sets for the Workspace are defined / located in: \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\workingsets.xml To import them, - Backup workingsets.xml in the current / new Workspace. - Close Developer Studio. (If Developer Studio is running then workingsets.xml is replaced then it will overwrite the new version with the old version when it exits.) - Copy workingsets.xml from the original Workspace to \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench in the new Workspace. - Restart Developer Studio. Thanks, Ramadevi
