Server Upgrade for MAS90 and MAS Intelligence

We plan to upgrade the server for MAS90 before year end and move to the latest version of SAGE, would the MAS Intelligence reports carry over, or is there a new reporting package?  The IT department has informed me that FRx will not be available on the new server and I don't want to spend a lot of time converting everything to MAS Intelligence if the latest version of Sage utilizes a different reporting package.  Thanks in advance for all comments/suggestions.

    FRx is dead. You cannot upgrade and stay on it.

    Sage Intelligence reports can be exported and then imported to the new verion of Sage Intelligence.  Not all of the features with the new version will work with old version reports but the reports can be used in the new version. FRx is no longer supported.  The FRx reports can be easily converted from FRx to Sage Intelligence by exporting the FRx report to Excel then copying the format in a Sage Intelligence Report Designer Add-In report where you will then set up the Sage Intelligence formulas for your report.  There is a document (and accompanying video) on the Sage Intelligence Community that describes this process in detail - go to sageintelligencecommunity.com/groups/100 - www.alchemex.org/.../FRx%20to%20Sage%20Intelligence%20Report%20Designer%20Add-In%20Conversion%20Guide.zip   Also - we will be presenting this process at Summit as well.

    Thank you, Sandra.

    I know that FRx is no longer supported (and hasn't been for awhile), but is there any reason that it won't continue to work?  We're getting ready to upgrade but haven't purchased additional intelligence licenses or converted the reports and I wasn't sure if that HAD to be done before the update or if we could use FRx for a bit longer while we got it all setup.  

    I ran a couple quick tests on a 2013 version and it seemed to pull the numbers across correctly...I can't imagine that the driver has changed that much in between the 2013 and 2014 version that I'll be upgrading to.  Any feedback would be appreciated, I'd love to get the update taken care of but don't want to jump the gun and break our consolidated reports...

    Sure it works on the old server but your issue is that it is not possible for you to install on a new server.

    Thanks BL, that's what I was looking for.  I've got my reseller pricing us the connector module and report designer add-in.  From what I've seen of Sage Intelligence I'm looking forward to transitioning to it, however I'm glad to know that I can continue to use FRx until everything is ready.  I was afraid there may be some underlying issue that wasn't obvious from the tests I did that would cause me problems down the road.
