About these release notes

Version 8.1 of the Infor for VISUAL .NET Applications, which includes Infor VISUAL Global

Financials, Exchange, and Time & Attendance, is certified for use with Infor VISUAL software

versions 8.0.0 and later.

Caution: Infor strongly recommends that you:

• Backup your Infor for VISUAL .NET application databases prior to running the database update.

Very often problems encountered during the upgrade of the database are unrecoverable.

• Install the upgrade of your Infor .NET application in a test environment for evaluation prior to

updating the production environment,

• Prior to installing VISUAL .NET 8.1, uninstall VISUAL .NET’s pre-8.x using the VISUAL .NET

installer.

Make sure your .NET environment is running Framework 4.0 or later prior to installing VISUAL .NET

8.1. Information about how to determine your current version of .NET, installation instructions for

.NET Framework, and the product to download are all available at www.microsoft.com.

When you upgrade your Infor .NET environment, you must run the Database Utility to update your

databases and ensure their compatibility with the current version. Data fix routines are often included

in this process and can take a significant amount of time to process. You must run the database

updates within a test environment prior to updating on the production database(s). In certain

circumstances these updates can take hours to run depending on the size of the database, the

database platform, the number of modifications and/or custom triggers in use, and other variables.

During the upgrade process, data fixes may occur that will generate Infor VISUAL Exchange events.

Please allow additional time for the databases to synchronize and process these events. The

synchronization will begin after installation when you start the Exchange service.

Once complete, all logs should be reviewed to ensure no errors were encountered. When you are

comfortable that the test environment has updated properly, you can update your production

environment database(s). Being familiar with the test environment update results will help the

production database upgrade proceed smoothly.

About these release notes

Support information Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 replaces Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.0. It is highly recommended that you

adopt Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1. Any questions should be directed to the Infor Support web portal,

support.infor.com.

Infor will continue to provide bug fixes for Infor VISUAL .NET 8.1 in conjunction with certified

versions of Infor VISUAL Manufacturing.

Installing Infor VISUAL .NET 8.1 for the first time When you install Infor VISUAL .NET 8.1 for the first time make sure your .NET environment is

running Framework 4.0 or later. Visit www.microsoft.com for information to determine your current

version of .NET, and for information on how to install and download .NET Framework.

If there is a version earlier than VISUAL .NET 8.x, Infor recommends that it be uninstalled using the

VISUAL .NET installer. After uninstalling VISUAL .NET pre-8.x, you are ready to install VISUAL

.NET 8.1. Refer to the Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 Installation Guide for a detailed description of both

how to uninstall VISUAL .NET pre-8.x and install VISUAL .NET 8.1.

Database update

If this is the first time that you are upgrading your .NET databases to the 8.x level, the database is

updated to double-byte. During the upgrade, all VARCHAR data types become NVARCHAR data

types. As a result, your database may require some time for the upgrade to complete. Plan

accordingly.

If you attempt to log into your database prior to upgrading, a message dialog displays defining the version of the current database and the version of the .NET applications.

If you are the LSA user, you can open the LSADbUtility.exe directly from the message. Otherwise,

you should contact your company’s IT Department.

Converting customizations to VISUAL for .NET 8.1 from

VISUAL for .NET 7.x

If you have customized code, contact Consulting Services to coordinate upgrading your custom code

before installing VISUAL .NET 8.1 into your production environment.

The upgrade to your VISUAL .NET 8.1 application databases ignores existing customizations,

including non-standard tables, views, and indexes. During the upgrade your application databases

are rebuilt and all columns are converted from single-byte to double-byte character sets. Any user

Page 7: Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 Release Notes

About these release notes

Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 Release Notes | 7

columns added to the standard tables through the customization process within the .NET

Applications are converted.

Infor recommends dropping custom indexes from the standard tables before upgrading the

databases. Custom indexes discovered during the database upgrade are dropped. Once the

standard tables are converted an attempt is made to add them back in as part of the upgrade

process. However, it is your responsibility to verify that your customized tables, views, and indexes

work properly against the converted database.

Upgrading your .NET databases Some maintenance releases include updates to the LSA, Global Financials, and Time & Attendance

databases. To ensure that your databases are up-to-date, use the Database Utility.

To update your databases:

1 Update your LSA database first. Open the Database Utility, and without signing in, click the

Perform administrative database creation, update or registration link.

2 Select Update Existing Database, and then click Next.

3 Click Next to navigate through the utility. When prompted, specify your user ID and password in

the Admin User ID and Admin Password fields.

4 After the upgrade is complete, click Close.

5 After updating the LSA database, you can update your Global Financials and Time & Attendance

databases. Open the Database Utility and sign in. In the left pane, click Infor VISUAL to expand

your databases, and then click VFIN to update your Global Financials database or click VTA to

update your Time & Attendance database.

6 Click the Perform database update link.

7 Navigate through the utility as described in step 3.

8 After the upgrade is complete, click Close.

Working with multiple VISUAL Manufacturing databases or entities Customers using a VISUAL database with multiple entities or multiple sites must also make sure

they use a unique prefix and/or suffix when creating transactions. In a VISUAL database with

multiple entities or multiple sites, customers set up the auto-numbering for transactions at the Site

level. For more information on setting up auto-numbering, refer to the Infor VISUAL Concepts and

Common Features Guide.

About these release notes

8 | Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 Release Notes

Customers creating records with the same ID in two different VISUAL Manufacturing databases or

between multiple entities within the same VISUAL Manufacturing database could have difficulties

when the records are exchanged with the Infor VISUAL .NET Global Financial database. Using

unique IDs helps to avoid confusion and ensures proper processing between Global Financials and

the VISUAL Manufacturing environment.

Time & Attendance payroll formats The VISUAL Time & Attendance Ceridian payroll format was developed with the Ceridian eSource

document, Importing Time Record Layout S500.

The VISUAL Time & Attendance ADP payroll format was developed under ADP documentation

Importing Paydata Release 11 and Importing Paydata and Table Data Version 5.0.

Recommended display settings For best results for Windows 7 users, we recommend using the basic theme. To specify this theme

setting, access the Windows Control Panel and go to the Personalization settings. Under Basic and

High Contrast Themes select the Windows 7 Basic theme.
