This is on upgrading IFS APP8 to IFS Cloud 23R1.

As IFS Technical documentation, https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/070_remote_deploy/040_upgrading_system/025_planning_upgrade/060_merge_connnect_config/

we need to merge exported connect configurations with the new configuration files using text merge tool. For example, for the transformers, In 23R1 build home, XML file is at \build-home\server\connect_config\0_ConnectConfigurations.xml

So, we need to merge APP8 transformer details to 0_ConnectConfigurations.xml file mentioned above. If we export one transformer to a xml file, it gives some binary value as below

... <PARAMETER_VALUE>IFS_EINVOICE_TO_BENSONINVOICE.xsl</PARAMETER_VALUE> <BINARY_VALUE>PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiPz4NCjx4c2w6c3R5bGVzaGVldCB2 ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjAiIHhtbG5zOnhzbD0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMTk5OS9YU0wvVHJhbnNm b3JtIiB4bWxuczp2bWY9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cuYWx0b3ZhLmNvbS9NYXBGb3JjZS9VREYvdm1mIiB4 bWxuczp4cz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMS9YTUxTY2hlbW …

But in 0_ConnectConfigurations.xml, it gives some other encrypted format, it seems, for an entry, as below.

... <CONNECT_TRANSFORMERS> <CONNECT_TRANSFORMER> <INSTANCE_NAME>IFS_XML_TO_JSON_GENERIC</INSTANCE_NAME> <DESCRIPTION>Transform generic XML document to Json. Type is not considered.</DESCRIPTION> <INSTANCE_TYPE>Java Transformer</INSTANCE_TYPE> <TRANSFORMER_FILE>xmltojsongeneric.jar</TRANSFORMER_FILE> <TRANS_FILE_CONTENT>504B03040A000008000026717D4D0000000000000000000000000

So please share instructions on how to merge APP8 connect configurations for transformers to 23R1 build home - \build-home\server\connect_config\0_ConnectConfigurations.xml.
