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
6 | Infor VISUAL for .NET 8.1 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
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.
