To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load: Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED prior to installing this Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with previous Source Enablement Pack's 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.
