Converting projects from older CMC versions

When opening a project or a component, Expert checks the existing CMC version. If the CMC
version of the project to be opened is earlier than the installed CMC version, Expert converts
the project and the internally and externally linked components.
The conversion only takes place after a prompt, which must be confirmed by the user.
The prompt also specifies the CMC version that was used to create the project to be opened
and allows the creation of *.bak files before the conversion.
The *.bak files can be subsequently deleted via the main menu "Tools > Convert > Delete
backup files (*.bak)".
It is recommended that each project be manually backed up or archived with all of the
associated internal and external components before the conversion. It is also recommended
that a conversion only be carried out from the previous to the current CMC version, i.e. no
CMC versions should be skipped.
4.2.4.1

Conversion

Projects that were created with the versions SCI 2.6, CMC 4.4 / 4.5 or CMC 4.6 are
automatically converted on calling.
Packages that were created with these versions cannot be converted during direct import.
Pay attention to the procedure for converting packages from older versions of Expert.
Procedure
1. Import the packages with the corresponding older version of Export.
2. Open and convert the project that has been created using the actual CMC Expert.
3. Store the project and forward it as package with the current version (*.exe, *uaz, *usz).

Rules for adapting the syntax

If you open a SinuCom Installer SCI 2.6, CMC V4.4 / 4.5, CMC V4.6 or CMC V4.7 project with
the current version, the majority of the syntax and configuration will be converted automatically.
However, there are a few expressions where an automatic conversion is not possible. These
must by adapted manually to the correct syntax.
This section provides an overview of which expressions can be converted automatically and
which must be manually adapted. Syntax errors (syntax that has become invalid) are displayed
through the verification of package by Expert. Especially extensive conversions are necessary
in projects of SCI 2.6.
