GAS 3.00 (Maintenance Releases) upgrade guide

Complete these tasks when migrating to Genero Application Server 3.00 Maintenance Releases (MRs) of the GAS from version 3.00. If you are migrating from an earlier version of Genero Application Server, first complete the migration tasks for all versions between your existing version and the target version.

Genero Report Viewer URLs

Starting with GAS version 3.00.12, the report viewer URL prefix /ua/grv that was provided to the Genero Report Engine (GRE) is no longer used.

New URL prefixes provide access to the HTML report viewer implementation and its applications' public and private resources. Different URLs are provided for when the Genero Report Engine is operating in local mode, on the same server as the GAS, or in distributed mode on another server.

The URLs are very similar in structure in each case.
Local /Local Server Mode
/ua/report/viewer
/ua/report/public
/ua/report/private/$(session.id)/reports
Distributed Mode
/ua/report-r/viewer
/ua/report-r/public
/ua/report-r/private/$(session.id)/reports
These URLs are used for the same purpose in local mode as distributed mode, where:
  • viewer loads the HTML report viewer implementation.
  • public provides access to shared resources.
  • private provides access to resources that are private to the application.

For more information see Application URIs and REPORT_VIEWER_DIRECTORY.

Debug mode

Support of "gwc-js.debug" in a GAS configuration file has been dropped. If you have previously used gwc-js.debug to launch GBC applications in debug mode, you must now use an alternate method. See GWC-JS application in debug mode.
