Hi everyone,
We are excited to announce a new community project designed to help our customers transition from AS4 to AS6 more smoothly. Some community members have started developing a script that analyzes an AS4 project and generates a report highlighting potential changes and issues that may arise during the porting process. Here are some important notes about the script:
• The project is open-source and community-based, not an official B&R project.
• The script may not identify all possible issues.
• Support is limited and depends on the availability of contributors.
We encourage everyone to contribute to the script. The project’s first goal is to collect and document as many conversion issues as possible. Please use the GitHub issue page to report conversion issues or feature requests. The second step is to incorporate these issues into the script and generate a report detailing the necessary adjustments for converting to AS6. The third step is to automate some required steps for the conversion process. There are already a few examples of how this could look in the project’s helpers folder.
This thread can be used for general discussions about the script, but please use the GitHub page for reporting conversion issues or feature requests.

Migrating from AS4 to AS6 can be challenging, and this tool has the potential to make that process much smoother. But for it to be truly effective, we need your input! As Stephan mentioned, sharing the issues you encounter during migration is already an incredibly valuable. Every real-world case helps us improve the script and make it more robust for everyone.
