Team,

I am working in migration project. I want to migrate InfoPath form 2007 into SharePoint 2019 on-premise. How to do the following configuration in InfoPath 2013 in order to deploy it in SP 2019.

  1. How to change the data connection (udcx)?
  2. How to deploy it via wsp file?
  3. What are all the details I need to modify in the manifest.xsf file?

Please share the details.

Thanks
