A copy of the FMP interface in-use is saved to the same local folder, using the following naming convention:  $$prgm_prefix & \["PM" or "RFP"\] & CurrentDate & ".fp7"


The new copy is uploaded to the server, into the eSG system folder 'FMP_versions'.

     It's recommended that old versions are either deleted or moved to an archive.

     Replace the FMP interface that's currently hosted by FMP Server with the new one.  The new version will be available to users the next time they select a shared FMP interface.
