Upgrading from a previous version
This chapter guides you through the process of upgrading from an earlier version of the
Emonitor software.
Your Scheduler, Emonitor Online Hardware Setup, XM Emonitor Gateway, Enterprise
Online Configuration Utility, 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 create new data sources in the Online Data Management
Console after you upgrade. 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).
Updating the SQLBase software
The Gupta SQLBase software must be updated before the Emonitor software is updated.
As always, if you are updating, back up your database directories to ensure that you have
a backup copy (see Backing up your data on page 32).
Update the SQLBase server and client software by following the SQLBase software
update instructions.
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.
You must have Administrator rights on the computer to be able to upgrade Emonitor.
Do not remove your existing version of the SQLBase database software before installing the new
Gupta SQLBase 9.0.1 software.
The SQLBase multi-user software is not included with your Emonitor Installation DVD. If you do
not have the Gupta SQLBase software 9.0.1 or later installed, you must contact Gupta Software
to purchase the version 9.0.1 multi-user software (http://www.guptaworldwide.com/).
