Upgrading from a previous version
This chapter guides you through the process of upgrading from an earlier version of the
Emonitor software.
Emonitor version 3.70 runs only on the Windows 7 operating system. This means that you
cannot upgrade your previous version of Emonitor (3.50 and earlier); instead, you must
install Emonitor version 3.70 on the computer running Windows 7. As part of this process,
you must move your Emonitor configuration files from the computer with the earlier
version of Emonitor to the computer where you will install Emonitor version 3.70.
If you are upgrading from Emonitor 3.60 on Windows 7, you do not have to move your
files from the computer running Emonitor 3.60. You can upgrade to Emonitor version
3.70 by running the Emonitor Installation program on that computer.
Your Scheduler, Enwatch/6600 Online Data, XM/DYN Online Data, Enterprise Online
Configuration Utility, and Emonitor OPC Client, and Emonitor OPC Server configuration
files from previous versions of Emonitor should work with the new version of Emonitor.
You will need to move these configurations to the new computer. You will also need to
create new data sources in the Online Data Management Console after you install
Emonitor 3.7. For more information, refer to the Online Data Management Console help
after you complete the upgrade (click Start > Programs > Rockwell Software >
Emonitor > Help > Online Data Management Console).
Backing up your Emonitor configuration files
Emonitor uses configuration files that are stored outside of the Emonitor database. These
files contain the settings for a number of Emonitor programs, including the Scheduler,
Enwatch/6600 Online Data, XM Emonitor Gateway, Enterprise Online Configuration
Emonitor version 3.70 has been tested on, and is supported on, Windows 7 Professional,
Enterprise, and Ultimate (32-bit versions only). Emonitor version 3.70 is not supported, and may
not install or run as expected, on any other Windows operating system.
If you are urading from Emonitor version 3.30 or earlier (earlier versions were called Emonitor for
Windows - EFW - or Odyssey), please contact Customer Support for assistance. You may need
to perform additional steps to upgrade (see Statement of Technical Support on page 4).
When you upgrade from a previous version of the Emonitor software, the Process data type is
replaced with the new Numeric data type for existing measurement definitions.
You must have Administrator rights on the computer to be able to upgrade Emonitor.
