Breaking Changes
DT-041902 - In older versions the List Builder Step would generate a data type called List Builder Type that has been removed.
- Any usage of the of the output of the Step is now confined to the Flow the Step is in. Any builds that require a List Builder Output to enter a Subflow, for instance, will break upon upgrade.
- Any Steps that used the List Builder Type as inputs will break and need to be remapped.
- There are no issues with upgrading an existing installation to v9.3.
- If v9.3 or above is being installed on a database backup of a prior version:
- The Keys.dat file needs to be included as part of the installation process.
- If the Keys.dat file is NOT included
- The connection strings for External Database Connections will need to be reconfigured.
- Account passwords, if stored in a recoverable way, will not allow log ins.
- If restoring a database backup from a clean install of v9.3 or above:
- Keys.dat is required to use account passwords and other encrypted data.
