Upgrade Web-based Clients

Before you begin

  • When you upgrade, Web-based Clients and associated data will be lost. Therefore, back up Web-based Clients and associated data using the uaa_config_tool utility provided in the Utilities folder of the ISO package. For information, refer to Migrate User Authentication Data from Historian to Common Proficy Authentication Service.
    Tip: After installation, uaa_config_tool is available in the following folder as well: <installation drive>\Program Files\GE Digital\Historian Config
  • You cannot upgrade Web-based Clients from a version earlier than 8.0. This is because, starting 8.0, Web-based Clients are installed separately (not as part of the Historian server installation). Therefore, you must do either of the following:
    • Install Web-based Clients on a new machine.
    • Uninstall the Historian server (remember to back up the Proficy Authentication using the UAA_config_tool utility), and then install Web-based Clients.
  • If the machine name has changed, you must uninstall and reinstall Web-based Clients.
  • If you want to use a different Proficy Authentication server from the previous one, you must manually migrate the Proficy Authentication data to new Proficy Authentication server using the uaa_config_tool utility.
  • If you want to switch from using a local Proficy Authentication to using an external Proficy Authentication (or vice versa), you must manually change the Proficy Authentication details.
