Installation and configuration procedures 2 Installation and configuration procedures 2.1 Software installation MP3.15 is distributed with a setup procedure. In order to get detailed information about MP3.15 installation, please see the MM8000 Installation, Configuration, and Commissioning manual (006799_h_en). In general, assuming a stand-alone MM8000 station, the installation procedure includes the following steps: 1. Check system requirements.
Installation and configuration procedures 11. By default, the software is installed in English. The installation procedure can install texts in another language as long as the required file (LANG_xxx.ZIP) is included in the setup kit. Otherwise, the language may be modified later by means of the ‘Language Installation’ utility. Note that you need to ‘download’ the Composer configuration before being able to start the MM8000 application (MM8000 client).
Migrating from MP2.xx releases 3 Migrating from MP2.xx releases 3.1 Migrating from MP2.10/MP2.20/MP2.30 The configuration database migration from older releases - MP2.10, MP2.20, MP2.21, and MP2.30 - is possible using MM8000 MP2.31 as intermediate conversion step (see document 008091 MP2.31 Release Notes). Then, from the MP2.31 database, you can finally convert your database to MP3.15. 3.2 Migrating from MP2.31 The migration from release MP2.31 is possible as described in this chapter.
Migrating from MP2.xx releases 3.2.1 Update procedure log In MP3.15, the internal database structure was reorganised and various object properties have been removed. These properties could have been configured for specific types of event, customer texts, reactions, etc., and the update procedure may not be able to automatically map the customisations into the new structure. In order to verify if that happened, after any upgrade from MP2.31, you need to analyse the NEOUPDATE.
Migrating from MP2.xx releases 3.3 Migrating from 3.10 The migration from release MP3.10 (including the service releases 3.10-xx) is possible as described in this chapter. You perform the following procedure steps: 1. Install MM8000 MP3.15 as described in 2.1 above. 2. Start Composer and restore your project. 3. In the MM8000 structure tree, select Supervision System Settings MM8000 System Logical Configuration User Data 4. On the Node tab, press the button labelled “Project Update”.
Known issues in MP3.15 4 Known issues in MP3.15 This is a list of known limitations, problems, bugs and recommended practises regarding MP3.15 at the time this software was released.
