32 Chapter 2: Upgrading to Citect SCADA 2018 [Alarm]SavePrimary: remove this parameter. [Alarm]SaveStandby: remove this parameter. [Debug]Kernel = 0: this is to enhance security and keep operators out of the kernel. [LAN]EarliestLegacyVersion: remove this parameter. It is important to note that after removing the EarliestLegacyVersion parameter, the next time you change your user s passwords, you should change all the passwords on one server, and then roll out the updated project in the same order in which you conducted the online upgrade (primary server, clients and then standby server). Refer to KB article Q7865 for more information. Migration Tool The automatic update that occurs when you initially launch Citect SCADA 2018 does not fully upgrade your projects, and needs to be followed by the use of the Migration Tool (if migrating from v7.x this is particularly noteworthy). The automatic update is a passive action which updates the database field definition for any database that has been changed between the two versions and copies new files that are necessary in The Migration Tool is a separate application which has to be run manually after the automatic upgrade has been executed. It can be initiated after you have prepared the project for final migration. This tool will accommodate the changes in project functionality that are incorporated in 7.0 and Note: Some of the features introduced in 2018 of Citect SCADA require changes in the project data from version 6.x UPGRADE ALTERS COMMUNICATIONS CONFIGURATIONS After upgrading, confirm and adjust the configuration of I/O devices in your project. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. Using the Migration Tool Note: Before you use the Migration Tool, is recommended that you familiarize 31
37 Chapter 2: Upgrading to Citect SCADA 2018 Variable Tag Parameter or Constant Value Eng. Full Scale Comment Local Variable Parameter Full Scale Comment With the exception of the Array Size, which has been introduced in version 7.0 exclusively for local variables, every field receives its value from the same or similar field. Deleting Variable Tags Once the Migration Tool has created the local variable records it will insert those variable tag records that have been converted in the previous step, and delete the original variable tag. If an error is detected during the insertion of the local variables, the deletion of the variable tags will not be performed. If this occurs it is possible to have two records with same name and data, one in the local variable (the newly inserted record) and one in the variable tags (the original record that has not been deleted). You need to delete either of the variables manually, or restore the backed up project after removing the cause of the error then run the Migration Tool again. Deleting Obsolete I/O Devices Deleting obsolete I/O Devices is an optional step in the Migration Tool and will be performed after the memory variables are converted. If the delete option is chosen, obsolete Memory devices and Alarm devices will be deleted as the final step of the Migration Tool operation. Creation of Roles for Existing Users When upgrading an existing project using the migration tool, a new role will be created (if needed) for every existing user. The new role will have the same security settings that were defined for that user and be given a generic name such as Role_1, Role_2 etc. During the upgrade process, if a role exists with the same security settings as the user, then the existing role will be assigned to the user being upgraded. For example; If Role_1 exists and matches the security settings of the upgraded user then that user will be assigned Role_1 also. If you do not want to migrate users from an existing project clear the option Create Roles from User security information from the migration tool dialog before running it. 36

41 Chapter 3: Installation Description Option Description If the.net Framework installation does not complete, you can install it manually from the installation file in the Extras folder of the Citect SCADA installation disk, then install Citect SCADA. Be aware that.net Framework requires Windows Imaging Component (available on the Windows Download Center web site) to be installed first. Runtime Only Server This option will select Runtime, Sentinel Driver and Communications Drivers for installation. It is an installation which will install the runtime components for both a Server and Client. Such an installation will include runtime infrastructure files, Client and I/O Server, Alarm Server, Trend Server and Reports Server. Select this option if this is an installation of Citect SCADA which will act as a server to service a number of client installations. This option will only select the Runtime system for installation. It is an installation which will install the runtime components and a Client. Such an installation will include runtime infrastructure files, but will exclude drivers. Select this option if this is an installation of Citect SCADA which will be used as a client. If you wish to upgrade either of the Runtime installations to a full installation, including the Development and Configuration environment, insert the original installation media and select "All Core Components" or "Custom" from the Installation Profiles dialog. Runtime Only Client Note: You can also install the Citect SCADA Runtime Only Client from a single installation file. This file is named Citect SCADA 7.50.exe and located in the \citect SCADA 7.50\Extras\Runtime Installer folder of the installation DVD. This allows installation of the software to computers which only require the runtime. The file can be copied to a network location for remote installation The single-file installation does not include Communication Drivers, the Sentinel Driver, or the Microsoft.NET Framework which is a prerequisite of the runtime. If the.net Framework is not already installed on the target computer, you cannot use the single-file installation. In this case, you may use the full package installer to automatically install the.net Framework during the installation of Citect SCADA. Alternatively you can install.net Framework from another source, then carry out the single file runtime installation. Custom This option will not select any components for installation; it will allow you to select the core components that you specifically need, or allow you to install add-ons or documentation only. Documentation Installation The Product Documentation option will install a comprehensive library of user guides and references in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). These can be accessed from a master contents HTML page. It is highly recommended that you install the product documentation for future reference. 40 2ff7e9595c
