Migration

5.8 Additional Steps

5.8 Additional Steps
Introduction
You still have to make some project settings after migration.
Updating System Messages in Alarm Logging
Once you have integrated the system messages in the message system and completed
migration, you must update the system messages in Alarm Logging. New system messages
are also applied with this step.
1. In the table area of Alarm Logging, select the system messages to be updated.
If you want to update all system messages, select the "Select All" command in the shortcut
menu.
2. Select the "Update" command in the shortcut menu.
Selected system messages are updated, and new system messages are integrated into
the project. The system messages obtain texts from the selected language for the selected
user text block.
Adapting process-controlled archive tags
If the "Compile OS" function is used, the assignment of the process controlled archive tags
changes. The name of process controlled archive tags is no longer defined according to the
raw data tag ID. The name of the raw data tag is used instead. You must convert these tags
to adapt their assignment, for example, in Controls. For this purpose, open the "Properties"
dialog of the archive tag once and then close it again without making any changes.
If you are not using the "Compile OS" function, you can continue using the process-controlled
archive tags in their original structure in the new WinCC version.
Multi-user projects Loading packages
After migration of a multi-user project, create the packages on the server and downloaded
these to the clients. For more information, refer to "Configuration > Multi-user systems >
"Server configuration" or "Client configuration" in the WinCC Information System.
WinCC/WebUX: Converting project data
A project created with a WinCC version earlier than WinCC V7.4 must be adjusted for use in
WinCC/WebUX:
● If you have already used WinCC/WebUX V7.3, convert the process pictures and project
functions (Visual Basic Script).
● If you want to use process pictures with migrated VB project functions in WebUX ab V7.4,
convert the project functions.
