We´re doing a QV 8.5 to QV 10 upgrade in a client.
We're in the testing stage but so far we've only found two differentes, WHERE RECNO()=0; doesn't seem to work in QV10 and it is now able to read XLS decimal values that are not being shown.
We've also found some minor differences in graphs layouts and things like that.
We have not yet upgraded to version 10. I'm not in charge of when we do it, so I can't say for sure why we haven't. I think the main thing is we'd want to retest a wide selection of our applications first, and we just haven't scheduled time for this in the frenzy to get things done by the end of the year. Also, we have some charts built from multiple objects that need to be pixel-perfect to look right, and these OFTEN need to be adjusted for new versions, even for new SR releases. So an upgrade typically takes us a little time. I assume we'll upgrade early next year.
We are in the middle of it -- testing out v10 and trying to understand the differences in Server and document-task setup vs the old Job/task setup. I like v10 doc-task layout much better.
However, we have over 100 tasks (in about 50 v85 jobs) that are also inter-linked with ESP (another scheduling tool) that we have to map out and manually re-create in v10... Lots of work here... So we just want a gauge of how fast / hard we should push to migrate to v10.
Thanks to all for your input thus far. Still looking for more experiences (both ways -- ya or nay).
Keeping with the spirit of this post, we are starting to consider an Upgrade from 9.0 SR6 to QV 10.0. Can anyone provide insight on the amount of time it took and if any modifications were needed before, during or after the upgrade. We have well over 250 distribution tasks, executed via EDX calls. We are concerned with having to redo any of these tasks.
