Upgrading default WebForms building blocks
If you upgrade from WebForms 1.1 SP1, then in order to use WebForms Designer 2010 SP1, you must upgrade existing default building blocks on your system.
Before you begin
To perform this task, the following must be true:
- You must have a version of Content Porter compatible with your SDL Tridion version installed, as described in the SDL Content Porter installation topics. If you have not obtained Content Porter, contact SDL Tridion Customer Support.
- If you are using WebForms in combination with SDL Tridion 2013 or SDL Tridion 2013 SP1, you also need Hotfix 86950 for SDL WebForms 2010 SP1. You can request this hotfix from SDL Customer Support. Ensure that the hotfix is unzipped and available from your Content Manager server machine.
- To import the Intermediate File into the Content Manager, you must be logged in as an administrator-level user.
