Upgrade Of Existing Repository

This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:

...

To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:
Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED before installing this  Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with the previous Source Enablement Pack we recommend moving these previous versions of Load Tables to newly created Parser-based connections following this install. The earlier versions of the Source Enablement Pack will be deprecated following this release.
