Any .RBA Application files, Form-Driven Applications, External Form Files, or command files running in R:BASE eXtreme will run in R:BASE 11 with no changes required on your behalf. It is recommended that you review your application menus and actions to ensure the system is 100% operational.
Within the External Form File portion of the Database Explorer, the new "Convert Application(s)..." option is available to convert R:BASE application files (.RBA) to an External Form File.

Selecting this option will create an external form that matches the same properties used within the RBA application file. For the "Menu Bar" layout, the "Main Menu" section is converted to a form "Menu Bar", the "Actions" are converted to "Custom Form Actions", and the "Toolbar" is converted to a toolbar in the "Toolbar Designer" when the external form file is created. A "Tree View" control is also available as a menu display method, where menu options are loaded into a hierarchical list with "Actions" placed and referenced into Custom EEPs and Custom Form Actions.
Plugins
When upgrading from R:BASE eXtreme 9.x to R:BASE 11, you will also need to upgrade any Plugins, if used. The 9.x specific Plugin files cannot be used in R:BASE 11.
