FactoryTalk administrative rights are required to log on to the FactoryTalk Network
Directory, for example, when you use the FactoryTalk Directory Server Location Utility.
To open the utility, you must log on as a FactoryTalk administrator on the local computer.
To specify a remote Network Directory location, you must also have administrative rights
on the remote computer.
FactoryTalk administrative rights are also required to back up and restore FactoryTalk
View SE applications.
Record the names and passwords of administrative users
Before backing up the deployed application, ensure that you have recorded the user names
and passwords of users that belong to the FactoryTalk administrators group.
Only members of the FactoryTalk administrators group can add, remove, or modify
FactoryTalk user accounts, if this is necessary after restoring a backed-up application.
Perform set-up tasks on application computers
Before upgrading FactoryTalk View SE, review Chapter 2, Hardware, operating system, and
domain information .
The chapter contains information about tasks you can perform on application computers,
to ensure that FactoryTalk View SE runs smoothly after it is installed. It also contains
information about hardware and software requirements, and application limits.
Ensure that the latest application files are on the primary server
During the upgrade described in this chapter, the application and HMI project files backed
up on the primary server (Server #1) are restored on the secondary server (Server #2), and
then migrated in FactoryTalk View Studio on the upgraded engineering workstation
(Workstation #1).
To ensure that you migrate and re-deploy the most recent application, ensure that the
application and HMI project files you back up initially, on the primary server, are the most
recent application files.
Have the FactoryTalk View Installation DVD on hand
The FactoryTalk View Installation DVD provides setup programs for installing the
FactoryTalk View SE software components, the FactoryTalk Services Platform, and
RSLinx Enterprise.
