Installing Wonderware InBatch 2014 R2 SP1
Special Notes
- Before upgrading, please take note of the known issues in the Installation Issues section of this document.
- Note: Prior to upgrading, confirm that your Error Queue is empty. Because of changes to the Wonderware InBatch History database, any data left in the Error Queue will not be accessible in the upgraded version. Also, ensure that all batches have ended and that all warm restart files have been deleted.
- Starting with version 11.0, the InBatch History Server feature and Reporting Content feature no longer support using pre-defined standard SQL Server users (ex. BatchAdminUser, etc.) and now require the installer to provide a valid OS user during Configuration. This user will be automatically given the minimal set of SQL privileges to read and write the databases.
- Starting with version 11.0, History and Reporting Administration Web Pages always use InBatch Security to authorize access; even when being accessed from Wonderware Information Server. It is recommended to use SecEdit to define Access Roles for AdminWeb and ReportWeb.
- After you upgrade Batch Reporting Content (from a pre-Wonderware InBatch 9.0 SP2 version), a new report template called BatchJournal_EOB is available. The BatchJournal_EOB template is for an optimized Batch Journal report that is meant to be used with End of Batch report triggers. To schedule this report in Wonderware Information Server, you must manually redeploy the Batch Reports by using the Wonderware Information Server Report Deployment tool.
- Follow this installation order if you are installing System Platform 2012 or later on the Batch Server node with a custom Wonderware Application Server installation location:
- Install Application Server
- Install Wonderware InBatch
Installing or Upgrading
For installation and upgrade instructions, see the Wonderware InBatch Installation Guide and the Installation Issues section of this document.
Upgrading the software from the versions listed below only requires running the Setup.exe:
- Wonderware InBatch 9.0
- Wonderware InBatch 9.0 with SP1, and SP2
- Wonderware InBatch 9.5
- Wonderware InBatch 9.5 with SP1
- Wonderware InBatch 9.6
- Wonderware InBatch 2012 R2 (10.0)
- Wonderware InBatch 2014 (10.1)
- Wonderware InBatch 2014 (10.2)
The process will upgrade all components as required.
Once the upgrade process is completed you have to run the CVTMaster.exe utility to upgrade the application databases.
There are new "Formula specific" system tags. Users should perform a "Model Edit / Model Validation" to generate these new System tags on their existing equipment. Failure to do so might result in "Tag Write" errors at runtime (from BatchMngr).
Initially these new tags will be memory tags. If using Batch Objects, users can re-export their model and re-deploy their Batch Objects.
The upgrade supports Wonderware InBatch with I/A components and without I/A components.
To upgrade from a version older than Wonderware InBatch 9.0, first uninstall the previous version and then install Wonderware InBatch 2014 R2 SP1.
Note: If you are using the InBatch GUI Controls, you may need to adjust some of your InTouch application layouts. Some of the controls have been increased in size to better accommodate larger values. Also, a new "Formula" column was added to several list controls.
