The following are upgrade considerations and product
changes for WebFOCUS Visual Discovery (Thick Client):
In WebFOCUS 8, HTML
Composer does not support opening VisDis.htm files developed prior
to WebFOCUS 8. WebFOCUS 7.x Visual Discovery applications are supported
with WebFOCUS 8 for run time.
Thin Client is not
supported.
Visual Discovery
is no longer opened through the ActiveX control button on the components
toolbar. To open Visual Discovery from HTML Composer, click the Vis button
on the components toolbar.
In WebFOCUS 8, you
select a Data Pool and access Visual Discovery control settings
through a new Properties and Settings dialog box. When you insert
a new Visual Discovery control onto an HTML page, the Properties
and Settings dialog box opens. If the Properties and Settings dialog
box does not open automatically, or it does not appear when you
select an existing control, click Properties and Settings from
the View menu. For more information, see the Using WebFOCUS
Visual Discovery to Develop Analytic Dashboards manual.
The <PARAM NAME="Files">
value no longer displays the table name used by the chart control
in the .htm code. This information is contained in other sections
of the code and should only be edited using HTML Composer.
