Project upgrades

A project upgrade occurs when any of the following occurs:

When CitectSCADA detects that the include, system, or CSV_Include project is read-only and the version of CitectSCADA that the project was created under does not match the current version of CitectSCADA, a message box is displayed to advise you of this.

In addition, when CitectSCADA detects that a user project is read-only and the version of CitectSCADA that the project was created under does not match the current version of CitectSCADA, a message box is displayed to advise you of this.

Any links to the project will be removed and the project tree in Citect Explorer will be updated to indicate this.

If you plan to upgrade a top-level project, you need to log on as a user with the appropriate read-write security privileges for this project, add a link to the project in Citect Explorer, and then perform the project upgrade again.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

• Do not leave non-upgraded projects in your project environment.

• If security privileges prevent a successful upgrade of projects related to your system, restore the system to its prior state before resuming operations.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
