Re: [foxboro] upgrade gotchas

Thanks Duc,

Yes, we will be moving a historian.
The basic plan is to move everything except Batch.

Ken,

You said the new AW will become the host, which I assume meaning the host
for the existing CPs also? If that's the case, you'll have to make plans
to:

1. perform SaveAll for the existing CPs
2. re-install the existing AW so it knows that it no longer hosts those
CPs.
3. initialize/reboot/LoadAll these CPs so their config files are on the new
AW (of course, there's workaround so you don't have to do this step, but
it's not the Foxboro-recommended way -- you're on your own then)

Do you have a historian running on the existing AW? Do you plan to move it
to the new AW? (It's not necessary, but something to consider.)

At the very least, make sure that the new AW is the CSA server, as it runs
the later version of software.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Hope it helps and not muddles
the water.

Duc

Hi folks,

We have a small installation with 1 AW 2WP (all B boxes running ver 6.3,
foxview 99.2) and 8 CP's. (30,40B & 60 mix)
We are planning on adding an additional AW and an additional CP60 later
this year. The Foxboro rep. said the new
AW will come with ver 7.0.  Am I going to experience any compatibility
issues?
The new AW will become the host and the old one will just run I/A batch ver
5.3.

thanks,
