The Conversion Process

The conversion process is described in the documentation that is supplied with the Omnis Studio product. It details all of the technical aspects of the process and should be used as the main reference during the conversion of an Omnis7^3 application to Omnis Studio.

The process consists of a number of defined tasks, that are carried out library wide, taking the library from Omnis7 to Studio.

Pre-conversion tasks are carried out before the library is run through the OMNIS Studio core converter. These tasks are to gather data for use by the post conversion tasks and to check for potential problems which could be avoided if changes were made before the library is run through the converter. This may require modification of the library.

Post-conversion tasks are carried out once the library has been opened and automatically converted by the Omnis Studio core converter. The post conversion tasks are to fix problems in the code not addressed by the core converter, and to replace remaining OMNIS 7^3 commands and notation with the equivalent OMNIS Studio code.

The conversion process is automated by The Conversion Tool
