How to
Detaching a WebReports Database
You detach a WebReports database to make the database available for subsequent attachment (when installing or upgrading WebReports to another operating system or computer).
Use this workflow to upgrade an Enterprise Server system. An Enterprise Server system can include an Enterprise Server, one or more SmartStruxure server devices and WorkStations, and supporting administrator software, such as Device Administrator.
The workflow applies to upgrading a system from version 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, or 1.8 to version 1.9.
Prepare LonWorks Systems Running Version 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7
The following flowchart shows the tasks for preparing LonWorks configurations in all SmartStruxure server devices running version 1.5.x, 1.6.x, or 1.7.x for a version 1.9.x upgrade. Related information can be found in the sections after the flowchart.
If you upgrade from version 1.5.x to version 1.9.x, install the following WorkStation hotfix: SE.SBO.WorkStation-1.5.0.171xx-Hotfix.exe .
If you upgrade from version 1.6.x to version 1.9.x, install the following WorkStation hotfix: SE.SBO.WorkStation-1.6.2.12xx-Hotfix.exe .
If you upgrade from version 1.7.x to version 1.9.x, install the following WorkStation hotfix: SE.SBO.WorkStation-1.7.2.111xx-Hotfix.exe .
The command for preparing LonWorks configurations for upgrade may also be included in WorkStation hotfixes from later Consolidation Points.
In WorkStation, select the Enterprise Server and prepare the LonWorks configurations in the Enterprise Server and all online SmartStruxure server devices running version 1.5.x, 1.6.x, or 1.7.x for a version 1.9.x upgrade.
For more information, see Preparing LonWorks Configurations for Upgrade .
The preparation must be performed on all version 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 SmartStruxure servers containing LonWorks configurations to be able to upgrade to version 1.9.
If any preparation on a SmartStruxure server fails, a preparation can be done locally on the SmartStruxure server before upgrade to version 1.9.
Repair LonWorks Systems Running Version 1.8
The following flowchart shows the tasks for repairing LonWorks configurations in all SmartStruxure servers running version 1.8.1. The SmartStruxure servers need to be repaired before the upgrade from version 1.8.1 to version 1.9.x. Related information can be found in the sections after the flowchart.
If you upgrade a system with LonWorks devices from version 1.8.1 to version 1.9.x, install the following WorkStation hotfix: SE.SBO.WorkStation-1.8.1.23xxx-Hotfix.exe .
If you upgrade a system with LonWorks devices from version 1.8.1 to version 1.9.x, install the following Enterprise Server hotfix: SE.SBO.Enterprise.Server-1.8.1.23xxx-Hotfix.exe .
If you upgrade a system with LonWorks devices from version 1.8.1 to version 1.9.x, install the following SmartStruxure server device hotfix: SE.SBO.Device.Administrator-1.8.1.23xxx-Hotfix.exe .
Install the hotfix on all SmartStruxure server devices hosting LonWorks devices that are based on the LonWorks imported device templates (.XIF) or resource kits (.DRF). If you are uncertain, install the hotfix on all SmartStruxure server devices hosting LonWorks devices.
In WorkStation, select the Enterprise Server and repair the LonWorks configurations in the Enterprise Server and all online SmartStruxure servers running version 1.8.1.23xxx.
Ensure you have installed the 1.8.1.23xxx hotfixes for WorkStation and the SmartStruxure servers before you repair the LonWorks configurations. WorkStation and the SmartStruxure servers must be running version 1.8.1.23xxx.
For more information, see Repairing LonWorks Configurations in SmartStruxure Servers Running Version 1.8.1 Before Upgrade .
You cannot upgrade to version 1.9.x until the LonWorks configurations in all SmartStruxure servers running version 1.8.1.23xxx are repaired.
