Upgrade 7 to 8 - Email template module

0
Good Afternoon,   I am currently upgrading one of our apps from 7 to 8. I am trying to upgrade the Email Template module however I can't see it existing. I have been told to remove it and wait until we upgrade to version 9 then download the email connector. This will cause a lot of errors as when I find usages it is used over 300 times. Am I missing something obvious, should there be an email template for version 8 that I can easily upgrade to?   Thanks   Jess

Hello Jessica, 

In the marketplace there is only one version of e-mail module with template resulting from loss of release version history. Read the overview tab.

What you can do maybe is to upgrade first your mendix app from 7 to 8.18.19 and then upgrade the email module if it has an older version than the V 11.2.0

Note: if you can upgrade it, you will get rid of java compilation errors. You can read this for the error.

Hey Jessica,

You have been told wrong, you can just open your app first in Mendix 8 and follow docs https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/moving-from-7-to-8/ and avoiding part update all widget https://docs.mendix.com/refguide8/moving-from-7-to-8/#37-upgrade-all-widgets and next step is open your application in Mendix 9 and follow docs https://docs.mendix.com/refguide9/moving-from-8-to-9/ and you will be good to go.

Best regards, Slavko

Hi Slavko,

 

The problem is one of the steps in the for 7-8 guide is test and review you app. I can't run in 8 because of the compilation of Java actions failed warning.

When you look into the errors, they all point to the email template.

There were other marketplace modules causing issues too but we were able to import the more up to date versions from the marketplace that got rid of those errors. Hence why I was told to remove the email template module and add in the email connector (I think) when upgraded to version 9.

 

Are these errors easily fixed? I have zero knowledge of Java.

 

Thanks

 

Jess
