Changing safe 4.5 beta to final

edited Sep 10 '18, 6:22 a.m. by Paul Slauenwhite (8.4k●1●2) Is there a method to update a project area using safe 4.5 beta to safe 4.5 final?
We had imported the beta templates onto our 6.0.5 testbed. Somewhere along the way they were put into our 605 production and 2 projects started using them. The only issue users have reported is that the shared queries are not populated and if you do create a shared query , it disappears.
The projects want to have the shared query problem resolved first as that is a hindrance to their use.
The second part of this is to update the project to reflect whatever changes are needed to make them a final safe 4.5 implementation. As i understand it from Amy, IBM's safe guru, you need 606 . The problem here is we won't be upgrading for about another 6months of so.
Any insight welcome

Hi all,
The issue with the queries existed in an early version of the Essential SAFe template and has been fixed in both the latest beta template as well as the GA template delivered in 6.0.6. That said, you can easily fix the problem yourself by removing (deleting) the system queries that are named with the [Process Exception] prefix.
There are no other significant changes in the GA versions of the templates so you can continue to use the beta templates as you wish.

I've searched the safe 4.5 (beta) project process and I cannot find anything prefixed with [process prefix] . Can you elaborate on what you are referring too?
Hi,
It's not [process prefix] it is [Process Exception]. Open Eclipse and then open the Project Area with the issue. Remove the [Process Exception] predefined queries. This same process can be used to remove them from the process template itself if you don't want to download the latest.
Please let me know if you want to meet to review this. Happy to do that.

My apologies for the confusion. I've found the 4 queries . I've first removed the "[process exception]" from the name , saved and tried accessing shared queries using the web ui .I then removed these 4 queries and tried again using the web ui. In both attempts I get "Error fetching queries. Array index out of range: 0" . I then noticed in Eclispe that the [process exception] queries where still listed in the links tab of the process. I deleted the 4 links but got the same error in the web ui in accessing the predefined queries. The web ui only shows "loading" . The 40 or so predefined queries are accessible in the Eclipse ui and I did run a few without issue. This problem appears to be limited to the web ui.
Hi Norman,
I think it would be best if we meet so I can take a look at this with you. Please reach out to me directly: asilber@us.ibm.com.
After we do this, I can document the specific situation here as an answer to the questions in this post.

I am having the same issues
Dinesh I do not fully agree with you on process inheritence. We have many PAs - none use process inheritance. In our organization, we allow the flexibilty for each PA to adopt/customize their own processes to suit their needs. While this may not be a recommended practice from a Corporate perspective (standarization, etc..) it is the way the organization wants it. IBM does provide docs on changing a scrum PA to Safe by modifying the PA process manually.
