DCR problems

We have recently upgraded from 5.5.2 to 6.5.

This problem seems to have only occured with one template. When editing the dcr or the generated doc the DCT comes up blank(none of the data entered is in the fields). It will preview correctly, with the data in the right fields. Creating a new DCR yields the same issue. Any Ideas??

Whats your OS ?
Client OS ? Browser version ?
Did you try with a different cilent ? different client browser version ?
What happens if you open the DCR in preview mode ? (instead of edit)
Do you have any FormAPI in your DCT ?

check in templating.cfg to see if the dcr-type is iwov or xml. It needs to be xml for the datacapture6.0.dtd

TS 6.5
Windows 2000 Server

actually, if one comes from 5.5.2, it needs to be iwov

Whats your OS ? solaris 9
Client OS ? Browser version ? win2K or winXPsp1 IE6.0
Did you try with a different cilent ? different client browser version ? Happens on multiple clients /under multiple logins
What happens if you open the DCR in preview mode ? (instead of edit) same - hitting preview while dcr is in edit mode previews the generated page correctly
Do you have any FormAPI in your DCT ? no

I changed the data type for this in Templating.cfg from iwov to xml and it worked correctly. This datacapture.cfg is using 5.0 DTD though?? It worked in 5.5.2 fine but 6.5 it requires the data type to be changed to xml?? Thanks for the help

That is strange. FP6.5 is backwards compatible with iwov style DCTs from previous versions of templating. However, xml style DCTs are not backwards compatible between FP6.x and TST 5.x. Are you saying that you are observing the opposite? Would it be possible for you to attach the DCT to your next response?

We're on AIX TS 5.5.2, and need to move to TS 6.x this year. We use custom DTDs and DCTs which produce real XML... deployed to a web application. We have custom workflows, lots of FormAPI, custom CGIs, TPLs which trigger XSL, and custom interfaces between TeamSite and our web application/database (not using DataDeploy or DAS).

For estimating purposes, should we expect to rewrite (and possibily redesign) everything? Will our previous XML data work? We have approximately 500,000 DCRs.

Thanks.
