The first time a Release 1.2 test stream runs in a Release 1.4 environment, the test stream will be reviewed to see if it has existing global, auto, or local variables. If it does, these variables will be automatically converted to Release 1.4 rules that will be applied during the run. Variables are converted as follows:
The resulting Release 1.4 test stream will no longer contain any global, auto, or local variables, but will have a ruleset with the same name as the test stream associated with it.
In addition, if a Release 1.2 test stream is copied to a new test stream using the online utilities or a batch copy in a Release 1.4 environment, the global, auto, and local variables will be converted into a ruleset with a matching name—just as if the test stream had been run in a Release 1.4 environment. This is the recommended method if you have Release 1.2 test streams that will need to be manipulated using the Rules function.
Note: If a Release 1.2 test stream has run in a Release 1.4 environment, it can still run in a Release 1.2 environment; however, any test stream created in Release 1.4 cannot run in Release 1.2.
