Upgrading to CitectSCADA v7.20

To upgrade an existing project to v7.20 from v6.x, perform each of the following procedures.

You do not need to carry out these procedures if you are upgrading from v7.0 or v7.10 to v7.20.

• Upgrade CTAPI Applications
  Verify that CTAPI applications are upgraded before upgrading and running any CitectSCADA V7.x projects.
• Configure I/O Devices
  Before upgrading, verify that I/O Devices are configured as necessary to run in the project.
• Run the Citect Installer
  The installer will lead you through a number of steps until the installation is complete.
• Launch CitectSCADA
  An automatic upgrade of your projects will occur when you initially start CitectSCADA
• Run the Migration Tool
  The automatic update that occurs when you initially launch CitectSCADA does not fully upgrade your projects, as such it needs to be followed by running the Migration Tool.
• Define Clusters
  Clusters can now be defined. The project needs to be configured to use at least one cluster.
• Configure Network Addresses
  The network addresses and ports of the computers to be used as servers are now defined in the project.
• Configure Servers
  The Alarm, Report, Trend, and I/O Servers are now defined in the project.
• Configure Tags to Use Clustering
  Alarms, reports, trends, SPC tags, and accumulators can now be configured to run in a specific cluster.
• Configuring Multiple Monitor Support
  You may need to check whether a custom configuration operates correctly in a multiple-monitor environment.
• Compile the Project
  Once you have configured your project, compile it and verify that there are no errors.
• Run the Computer Setup Wizard
  Run the Computer Setup Wizard for each computer running the project. At each stage of the Wizard, configure the appropriate settings for that computer.
