Upgrading from a previous version
This chapter guides you through the process of upgrading from an earlier version of the
Emonitor software.
Emonitor 3.7 runs only on the Windows 7 operating system. This means that you cannot
upgrade your previous version of Emonitor (3.5 and earlier); instead, you must install
Emonitor 3.7 on the computer running Windows 7. As part of this process, you must move
your Emonitor database and 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 Emonitor Gateway, 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
Utility, and Emonitor OPC Client, and Emonitor OPC Server. If you are upgrading from
Emonitor version 3.7 has been tested on, and is supported on, Windows 7 Professional,
Enterprise, and Ultimate (32-bit versions only). Emonitor 3.7 is not supported, and may not install
or run as expected, on any other Windows operating system.
If you have a version of Emonitor earlier than version 3.20 (some earlier versions were called
Emonitor for Windows - EFW - or Odyssey), please contact Customer Support for assistance.
You must perform several additional steps to upgrade to the current Gupta SQLBase database
software (see Statement of Technical Support on page 4).
When you upgrade from a previous version of the Emonitor software that uses the Process data
type, the Process data type is replaced with the new Numeric data type for existing
measurement definitions.
