CloudSuite Industrial 10 to 11 Migration Guide
Migrating from CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) 10 to CSI 11 brings significant enhancements including updated Mongoose framework components, improved ION integration, enhanced Ming.le homepage functionality, and performance optimizations across the platform. Unlike the major SL9 to SL10 platform shift, the CSI 10 to 11 upgrade is an incremental update that preserves most existing customizations while introducing new capabilities. This guide covers the specific migration steps and considerations for a smooth transition.
CSI 11 New Features and Impact Assessment
CSI 11 introduces updates to the Mongoose framework runtime, refreshed standard forms with improved usability, deeper ION middleware integration for document exchange, and enhanced security features including updated authentication protocols. The impact assessment phase identifies which new features affect existing customizations and business processes. Custom Mongoose forms may require adjustments if they depend on deprecated framework APIs or UI components that changed in the CSI 11 release. The Infor release notes document all breaking changes and migration requirements.
- Review CSI 11 release notes to identify breaking changes affecting custom forms, IDOs, and integrations
- Assess impact of updated Mongoose framework components on custom form behaviors and JavaScript extensions
- Evaluate new ION integration capabilities that may replace existing custom integrations with standard functionality
- Identify deprecated APIs and framework methods used in custom code that require updates for CSI 11 compatibility
- Map new feature availability to business requirements for adoption planning during the upgrade
Technical Migration Execution
The CSI 10 to 11 migration follows the standard Infor upgrade process: database backup, application server upgrade, web server upgrade, and ION configuration update. The Database Upgrade utility applies incremental schema changes from CSI 10 to CSI 11, which is significantly fewer scripts than a major version upgrade. The Mongoose web client update installs the new framework version while preserving custom form definitions stored in the application database. ION connection points must be reconfigured to match the CSI 11 BOD versions and document type specifications.
- Apply the CSI 11 database upgrade scripts using the standard Infor Database Upgrade utility in the test environment
- Upgrade application server components including IDO runtime, utility services, and background task processors
- Update the Mongoose web client deployment with CSI 11 framework files while preserving custom form definitions
- Reconfigure ION connection points to support CSI 11 BOD schema versions and updated document routing rules
- Validate third-party integrations against the updated IDO web service endpoints and verify data exchange correctness
Regression Testing and Cutover Planning
Regression testing for the CSI 10 to 11 upgrade focuses on areas where the framework changes are most likely to impact existing functionality: custom forms with JavaScript extensions, IDO extension classes using updated assemblies, ION-based integrations, and reports. Automated test scripts from the CSI 10 environment should be executed in the upgraded CSI 11 environment to detect regressions. Cutover planning must account for the coordinated upgrade of application server, web server, and ION components within a maintenance window that minimizes business disruption.
- Execute automated regression test suites covering all business-critical custom forms and workflows
- Test custom IDO extension classes for compatibility with updated Mongoose.IDO.dll assembly references
- Validate ION document flows end-to-end by triggering BOD generation and confirming downstream processing
- Plan cutover sequence: database upgrade, application server, web server, ION reconfiguration, and smoke test
- Prepare rollback procedure with database restore points and component version rollback scripts for each tier
