Navigate to the location of the existing solution, select it and click
Open.
If the project was created with an earlier
Micro Focus product for versions of Visual Studio 2008 or 2010, this starts the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard which upgrades your project to the most recent PL/I project types.
Note:
- PL/I projects only compile for x86 platforms. Because of that some of the upgraded projects might target unsupported platforms and might not be configured to build. You need to open the solution properties and, on the Configuration Properties, ensure all projects are set to build and set their target platform to x86.
- For a project created with
Enterprise Developer 2.1 and compiled using the command line, opening the project in the current version of
Enterprise Developer triggers a project upgrade that upgrades the project to the most recent PL/I project format. You must save the project after the upgrade.
- Projects created with
Enterprise Developer 2.2 and compiled using the command line do not trigger an upgrade when you open them in this version of
Enterprise Developer. However, there are some changes to the SQL preprocessor handling in the current product version. Because of that, in order to use SQL preprocessors to compile these projects, you must open them in this version of
Enterprise Developer and then save them, which automatically applies some changes to the project format.
