Supplementary Procedures 5-7
Upgrading an Engineering
Database to R320.0 This procedure would be intended for users that have already migrated
their system to R320.0, but have an external database that is in R300.1 or
R310.0 format that they want to put onto the system in place of the
existing ERDB.
To upgrade an R300.1 or R310.0 database (erdb_a.mdb file) to a
ProcessLogix Server running R320.0 software, the migration wizard:
•
runs as a single wizard interfacing with the IXPTOOL provided
application
•
runs without any required user interaction
•
checks for and alerts the user of insufficient free disk space
•
checks for any missing supported files and software needed to
migrate the ERDB
•
can be cancelled at any time
1. In the directory path: C:\Honeywell\TPS50\System\ER,
rename the database file you are migrating to:
erdb_a_old.mdb.
2. Use Windows NT Explorer to locate the erdb_a.mdb file in this
directory: C:\Honeywell\TPS50\System\er\clean_database
3. Select erdb_a.mdb, right-click and select Copy.
4. Select the directory C:\Honeywell\TPS50\System\ER
(the parent folder).
5. Right-click in the right pane and select Paste.
6. When the copy has completed, close Explorer.
7. Click Start
⇒
Run.
EXAMPLE
A database may have been generated by external
engineering group. If this database is in R300.1 or
R310.0 format it will have to be migrated first before
being put into use.
