Upgrade iFix Graphics from V14 to V15

Hello, i need to upgrade DeltaV from V14LTS to V15FP2

For DeltaV Explorer (fhx): I can use the "migrate configuration" utility in the database administration.

For iFix (*.grf):

- Is there any need to convert the "*.grf" - Files to DeltaV V15 (LTS or FP2) after copying from V14?

- Is there any tool to check for issues?

Thanks in advance.

  I did a quick check of the v15.LTS (NK-2200-0459) and v15.FP1 (NK-2300-0347) release notes and there is no mention of any action on GRF files. I did not find a v15.FP2 Release Notes KBA. You should review V15.LTS notes to be aware of any migration concerns between the major versions. The FP release notes may not cover everything in the LTS notes.
  
  Typically, *.GRF files do not require any migration. Note that there are not going to be any substantive updates to Operate in v15 or v16 as new features are being deployed in Live.
  
  Your displays should work as they did before. Any runtime errors would report on opening them in v15. Always make sure your configuration is clean and error free prior to migration, or at least all errors such as unresolved references or module generation errors are understood so you know what is "new" following a migration. Some errors may not be resolved prior to migration so you want to be able to know what was present before to know what may have been introduced in migration.
