Compatibility Instructions for upgrade (V10.0 to V11.0)

This article will introduce in detail what you need to know when upgrading Finereport 10.0 to 11.0, including reports, charts, plugins, and compatibility instructions for mobile terminals.

1) Template compatible

• Finereport10.0 Designer cannot open templates created/opened by Finereport11.0 Designer.

• The Finereport11.0 designer can normally use the templates made by Finereport10.0.

2) Remote Design

• Finereport10.0 designer cannot connect to Finereport11.0 report project remotely. Finereport 10.0 designer does not get .finereport110 cache files for 11.0.

• Finereport11.0 designer cannot connect to Finereport10.0 report project remotely. Finereport 11.0 Designer does not inherit 10.0 's .finereport100 cache files.

3) Finereport 11.0 abandoned the function of "New Data Entry Preivew" and changed it to plugin support.

• If the original Finereport 10.0 project has a record of using the function of "New Data Entry Preview" within three months, this function will be automatically retained in the form of a plug-in during the upgrade.

4) The "Calculation Engine X" plugin has been converted to a built-in function.

• General reports can directly set the report engine attributes without converting them to .cptx templates, and the original cptx templates can still be used normally.

• The "Template Assistant" function is stripped out and becomes an independent plugin.

5) Finereport10.0 and Finereport11.0 provide different JS API interfaces.

• After 10.0 is upgraded to 11.0, the templates in the original 10.0 can be used normally without using the "Calculation Engine X" and without switching to the "New Version Dashboard".

• If you need to use the "Calculation Engine X" or "New Version Dashboard", please change the JS API interface to the 11.0 interface. For details, please refer to: JS API .

Note: The unofficial JS API interface cannot be guaranteed to work properly in Finereport11.0.

6) Rights management

Finereport 10.0 cannot perform remote design server dataset permission control. After upgrading to Finereport 11.0, it will be supported, which may cause non-super administrator users to have no right to use/view server dataset content and corresponding template content.

If the developer cannot view or use the server dataset, or edit, save, or preview the template using the server dataset, please close the "Data Connection Control" button, or assign the user the permission to use the corresponding server dataset. 

The Finereport10.0 App cannot add the Finereport11.0 report server, and the Finereport11.0 App needs to be downloaded again.

The description of Finereport11.0 App is as follows:

1) The FineBI 5.1 server cannot be added to the App before version 11.0.50, and only adapts to the Finereport10.0 App.

2) 11.0.50 and later versions of the App support adding FineBI 5.1.19 and later versions of the server.

Note: App version 11.0.50 will be released on 2021/12/18.

1) Finereport 11.0 has reconstructed the fetching logic of the chart data source. In some scenarios, the effect of the chart will change after the old template is upgraded. You can switch the template to the original fetching logic of 10.0 through the "Chart Data Source Compatible" plugin. For details, see: Chart Data Compatibility Plugin . The difference between the new version and the old version is as follows:

2) Finereport11.0 has changed the default color matching logic of the chart. Before the upgrade, "Default" is selected. After the upgrade, it is compatible to select the 8 chart series color display set in "Predefined > Follow Theme". The compatible color scheme of Finereport 11.0 corresponds to the default color set in 10.0. For details, please refer to: Chart series .
