When upgrading to FNZ Studio 2025.x, this means:

Appendix: Migration Tool for Automatic Migration to New Functions
To keep your Solution up to date and make sure it uses the recommended functions and methods, we strongly advise performing an automatic migration of functions and method calls. This is done through the Automigrator Tool described below:
- Execute
Migration:MigrateFunctions, and pass the Package ID as an argument, as the function executes migration on a per-Package basis. Example:Migration:MigrateFunctions('ClientOnboarding')migrates all occurrences of deprecated functions in the Client Onboarding Package. In detail, the migration function performs the following actions:- The migration function finds all Business Objects using deprecated functions within the given Package.
Example – The Client Onboarding Package contains the Script Function Business Object "Test", which uses the deprecated
USERROLES()function:Function ClientOnboarding:Test(String $value) : Nothing Begin USERROLES(); End - The migration function replaces all occurrences of deprecated functions with the new namespaced functions; an uncommitted version of each Business Object with migrated code is created.
Example – The Script Function Business Object "Test" has been modified by the migration function to replace the deprecated function:
Function ClientOnboarding:Test(String $value) : Nothing Begin User:CurrentUserListRoleIds(); End - The migration function returns a list of Business Object IDs that have been migrated.
Example:
String[ClientOnboarding:Test]
- The migration function finds all Business Objects using deprecated functions within the given Package.
Example – The Client Onboarding Package contains the Script Function Business Object "Test", which uses the deprecated
- Based on the list of migrated Business Objects, review the changes to the Business Objects and commit them.
