Universe Upgrade from 11.3.1 to 14

We are in the process of doing/testing this same upgrade path ourselves.  it is still early and I don’t have any specific advice but the attached was provided to us by Rocket and may be helpful to you.

It is difficult to determine exactly what might fail or become problematic when upgrading your UniVerse database from version 11 to 12 without knowing the specifics of your application.

However, in my experience, if you are a telnet application software house and do not utilize many other features, the process is generally uneventful. This does not necessarily mean the transition will be perfectly smooth, but it does mean you likely won't have to modify much code.

Specifically, you can expect the following:

- Dictionaries will not change.

- UniBasic code will compile successfully.

- Telnet interactions will remain similar.

- PROCs, Paragraphs, and TCL commands will function similarly.

That being said, please be aware that the file structure is different in the newer version, UniBasic includes many more extensions, and the output of some TCL commands may vary.

I hope this information helps as you plan your upgrade.
