Issue/Introduction

Importing a configuration file from an old version of the connector into a new version causes an undefined method `elements' error in the log file as follows:

Environment

Release:
Component: ACQCIN

Cause

This is caused by a <PreCopyFilters> entry in the configuration.  This tag has been deprecated and should no longer be used.

Resolution

The solution is to convert the <PreCopyFilter> tags to <CopySelector> tags of equivalent capability.

For example, if you had the following <PreCopyFilter> 
<PreCopyFilters>
    <linked_object_field_check>
        <LinkField>WorkProduct.ScheduleState</LinkField>
        <Value>Accepted</Value>
    </linked_object_field_check>
</PreCopyFilters>

An equivalent <CopySelector> might appear as follows: 
<CopySelectors>
    <CopySelector>
        WorkProduct.ScheduleState = Accepted
    </CopySelector>
</CopySelectors>
