We are in the process of upgrading from GP 2013 to GP 18.4 (which requires a hop to/from GP 2016). The test upgrade went fine, however we're having trouble with our customized forms (customized reports seem to be fine) and I was hoping someone could confirm the procedure that should take place so that they come over properly.
We had to setup a test GP 2013 and migrate to it first (we needed to apply the latest 2013 SP in order to upgrade to 2016 and couldn't in the live environment for a few reasons). Are the steps below the way this should be done?
1. Copy DYNAMICS.SET, FORMS/REPORTS.DIC to the 'test' 2013
2. Run GP Utilities in 2016, pointing to the DYNAMICS.SET from step 1, process upgrade of forms/reports
3. Run GP Utilities in 18.4, pointing to the DYNAMICS.SET from the 2016 version
The customized forms ARE present in 18.4, but they don't look right. Every distribution window (and their distribution grids) in the system had been widened to accommodate our extraordinarily long account string, and while the grids are widened in 18.4, the windows themselves are not, so a good amount of information on the right hand side of the screens is not visible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as we have quite a few screens customized in the fashion, and we would prefer not to have them recreated. Thanks in advance!
