Engine Preferences: Backward Compatibility Issues introduced in 2018.2
l Prior to version 2018.2 Connect allowed a mixture of internal and external engines. As of
PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 this is no longer allowed.
When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect 2018.2 from such installations, the pre-existing
settings will not only no longer apply, but can cause scheduling preference conflicts for
the Merge and Weaver engines.
To fix this, any pre-existing Connect installation that was running a mixture of internal and
external Merge and Weaver Engines must first restore their scheduling preferences to the
default values. This can be done by clicking on the Restore Defaults button in the
Scheduling pages of the Server Preference or the Designer Preference dialogs.
l The Designer's scheduling settings are only updated correctly for the user actually
performing the update.
Business Graphics: Backward Compatibility Issues introduced in 2018.1
As a consequence of changes in both the user interface and the underlying technology,
Business Graphics made with a version prior to PlanetPress Connect 2018.1 may not display
correctly when opened in version 2022.1.
The currently known backward compatibility issues are listed here:
All charts
l Legend position: The position of the legend is not converted. It defaults to 'left' in a
converted chart.
l Rows are series/Columns are series: Only one type of data structure for detail tables is
supported in the new version: the one that corresponds to the former Columns are series
setting (with which charts display one series per record, one bar/point per data field). After
conversion to 2018.1, charts that used the Rows are series setting will be displayed as if
the Columns are series setting were used. Pie charts will thus only show data from the
first record in the detail table. If the number of records in the detail table remains
consistent, then the charts can be corrected by modifying the data mapping configuration
(see "Preparing a data table" on page739 in the Online Help:
https://help.objectiflune.com/en/PlanetPress-connect-user-guide/2022.1.). Otherwise the
data needs to be transposed via script.
l NOTE:Expanded custom chart scripts cannot be converted.
