If I understand correctly, conversion of tags done by installer is all needed to make current applications
work under Revo. Of course, further changes will be needed when I want to take advantage of the new Revo features in
current applications, but it’s not a priority. The most important factor is minimizing the downtime of current applications when switching the whole site to Revo.
The new applications are totally independent of current ones. Even users are different. My aim is to develop new apps in Revo and when they are ready for deployment, port current apps to Revo with minimal disruption to the service.
I plan to do this in the following steps. Please bear in mind that I am not yet quite familiar with Revo and may have made incorrect assumptions.
- Install Revo in a sub-dir
- Develop and test new apps using Revo
- Make a transport package of new apps
- Uninstall Revo
- Upgrade Evo 9.6.3 to Revo and make current apps work under Revo
- Add the new apps using the transport package to the new installation of Revo
As I said, I’m no Revo expert so there may well be simpler ways to do this.
Thanks for your help Jason.
