Q: How do I upgrade from viewLinc 3.6/3.7? How does viewLinc
upgrade my data for use in viewLinc 4.1?
A: viewLinc will automatically detect your existing version
and convert your data. This is done transparently when you
install viewLinc 4.1. The data is treated as follows:
1
Zones are created based on the Zones structure in 3.6.
They are created as a top-level zone. A top-level zone
called ‘Unassigned’ is created for the unassigned zone
2
Locations are created for all active channels. The
location name is copied from the channel preferred
description (Alias or device description, depending on
the system preference). Duplicate channels in multiple
zones will be dropped.
3
If 3.6 has restricted users configured, then ACL’s are
created according to the following procedure:
a
The user ‘Everyone’ will have ‘View’ permissions on
the System node with no inheritance
b
Restricted users who have been allocated a zone will
have an ACL created on the new zone with their per-
mission level
c
Restricted users who have been allocated a channel
will have an ACL created on the new location with their
permission level
d
Users will also be placed in groups according to their
pemissions
e
Regular Users – ACL for Acknowledge Alarms
f
Operators - ACL for Configure Custom Thresholds
g
Supervisors – ACL for Configure Alarms
h
Everyone – View
4
Users with Full Control will be added to the
‘Administrators’ group
5
Thresholds configured on active channels will be
attached to the new locations
6
Reports will be upgraded to use the new locations/zones
7
Floormaps (3.7) will be upgraded to the dashboards and
will use the new locations
8
POS displays will be upgraded to use the new locations
