Upgrading an operating FactoryTalk View
SE application
Upgrading the FactoryTalk View Site Edition software in an automation and control
application involves two core tasks: uninstalling the existing software, then installing the
new version.
After installing the new software version, you should be able to open a FactoryTalk
View SE application in FactoryTalk View Studio, and then run the application in a
FactoryTalk View SE Client without any further intervention.
However, depending on the design, content, and complexity of your control system, you
might have to perform additional tasks to support the upgrade, especially if you are
upgrading FactoryTalk View SE in a production environment. The information in this
chapter will help you safeguard the live application, while ensuring that the upgrade
process is efficient and successful.
Applications developed on versions 6.0 and earlier may need to be converted using the Legacy
Tag Database Conversion Utility. Start the utility by clicking Start > Rockwell Software >
FactoryTalk View > Tools > Legacy Tag Database Conversion Utility. For details about using
the utility, click Help.
