Custom Connector Migration from Version 5.10.2 to Bonita 7.1

Q&A
1

Hello,

I am migrating some processes from version 5.10.2 to version 7.1. We use a custom connector which works fine when we use it version 5.( All source files are present.)
When i tried migrating a process to version 7.1, it says " This custom connector has been migrated into a connector definition and a connector implementation. The connector implementation has to be reviewed in order to work as expected." When i try to edit the connector, the source files are missing and i cant find any input and output variables i have used in the connector.

Could anyone let me know what i can do?

Thanks
Sanjeev

Did you go through 6 first? If not you have to…

Here are some links to help you through the migration. It is not possible to do it direct.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your quick answer
Is it like mandatory to migrate it to 6 before we migrate the process to version 7?
seems to be completely different from version 5 - new features, deprecated apis etc.

If you are doing what you are doing, yes completely and utterly must go from 5.9 and above to 6 first then to 7.

6 and 7 are closer than 5 to 7 so the effort in doing 5 to 6 will work in your favor.

5 to 6 was a major piece of work changed API’s etc as you have noted, but the change is also true from 6 to 7 just not as much.

If you don’t do 5 to 6 then (the satirical bit) feel free to literally rewrite everything… :slight_smile: Apologies.

The links are very clear on this…from what I’ve read.
