About This Task

The following steps must be completed to upgrade this module to V4.6.10.0.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Procedure

  1. Upgrade or update OT Connect.
    Note: This step is required only if you are using Content Map records as health indicators sources.
  2. Optional: Resync Health Indicators

    Depending on the status of potential health indicator sources in your database, the resync will result in one or both of the following scenarios:

    • If health indicators do not already exist for sources that are included as health indicators, the resync creates health indicators for those sources.
    • If health indicators exist for sources that are excluded as health indicators, the resync deletes health indicators for those sources.

      Additionally, if the exclusion table contains extraneous entries, the resync removes those entries.

Upgrade from Any Version V3.4.5 through V3.6.1.7.4

About This Task

The following steps must be completed to upgrade this module to V4.6.10.0.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Procedure

  1. Review the potential health indicator source records in your database and specify whether the health indicators should be created automatically. During the database upgrade process, any valid health indicator source records that are linked to an asset and not linked to a Health Indicator record will be excluded from the automatic health indicator creation by default.
    Note:

    Alternatively, prior to upgrading to the APM, you can use the Health Indicator Builder in V3 to create Health Indicator records for the necessary source records. Removing the exclusions after upgrading will cause the APM system to generate health indicators automatically.

  2. If you previously used the Hierarchy Item Definition family to create a custom hierarchy for Asset Health Manager, ensure that the relevant asset families are included in the application-wide Asset Hierarchy Configuration.
  3. If you are using custom Health Indicator Mapping Records, specify values in the Type Field and Type Value fields to ensure that the mappings are used for the appropriate reading type.
  4. Upgrade or update OT Connect.
    Note: This step is required only if you are using Content Map records as health indicators sources.
  5. Optional: Resync Health Indicators

    Depending on the status of potential health indicator sources in your database, the resync will result in one or both of the following scenarios:

    • If health indicators do not already exist for sources that are included as health indicators, the resync creates health indicators for those sources.
    • If health indicators exist for sources that are excluded as health indicators, the resync deletes health indicators for those sources.

      Additionally, if the exclusion table contains extraneous entries, the resync removes those entries.
