<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">in Göttingen we are (trying) to prepare the
transition from BEXIS 1 to BEXIS 2. One of the obstacles is the
question how BEXIS 2.x will handle data. We need a guarantee
that we can take data from BEXIS 2.x to BEXIS 2.x+1 without
serious additional work (in our case on the PostgreSQL
database). Can you achieve that?</div>
</blockquote>
BEXIS2 is still under development. That's why it is very likely that
not only the set of features change from one version to another, but
also the structure of the database. This problem is called "database
schema evolution" and affects both the structure of the database and
the stored data. Even today, the tools to solve that problem are
limited. So, there are no automatic schema and data adjustments for
BEXIS 2.x+1. Actually, we are trying to trace/log all schema changes
within a release period to provide proper schema update mechanisms
(either manually or automatically via scripts). Nevertheless, if you
want to keep your data from one version to another there is only the
manual integration. And since we (should) know all database changes
between two versions, we can do this migration together (as kind of
helpdesk).<br>

<div class="">Second: we can't really work with BEXIS 2.10,
because some of the commands are missing. I wasn't able to
import the attributes etc. from "Changes in workspace" (16.3.)
and I can't edit the Types and Attributes in BEXIS 2.10 (see
attached pictures, if they make it to the list).</div>
<div class="">Is there a fix available, or am I doing something
wrong?</div>

Some of the menu items moved from "Plan" to "Settings" (cog icon).
For those you claimed it is the following situation (see also the
screenshot attached):<br>
<br>
Plan / Manage Data Attributes -- moved to --> Cog / Manage
Variable Templates<br>
Plan / Manage Data Types -- moved to --> Cog / Manage Data Types<br>
