To Validate the Compatibility of the Published Customization with a New Version Before an Upgrade

You can validate the compatibility of the currently published customization with an updated version before you start the upgrade process.

To do this, perform the following actions:
  1. Navigate to the Apply Updates (SM203510) form.
  2. On the Updates tab of the form, in the table of available updates, click the product version to which you want to upgrade your MYOB Advanced instance, as shown in the screenshot below.
  3. On the table toolbar, click Download Package.

    When the download is complete, the Ready to Install check box is automatically selected.

  4. In the table toolbar, click Validate Customization to start the process of validating the compatibility of the currently published customization code with the code of the selected product version.

If the validation succeeds, you know that you can upgrade your MYOB Advanced instance to the selected version without an issue occurring.
If the validation fails, the Validation Failed window opens to display the list of the executed checks and discovered errors, as the following screenshot shows.
