Upgrade or Update Calibration Management to V4.3.0.5.0
The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V4.3.0.5.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic GE Digital 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.
The Calibration Strategy and Device Type fields in each Calibration Profile are populated automatically.
If using a GE Druck calibrator, in a Calibration Template that was created before the upgrade, if the value in the Temperature Element Type field is None, you must modify the value. Otherwise, you will not be able to link the Calibration Template to an Asset.

Notes
1
Uninstall the previous version of the Meridium Device Service, and install the latest version on all the machines that you will connect to a device used for automated calibration.
IMPORTANT: If, however, you use HTTPS to connect to GE Digital APM, then you must follow the instructions in KBA 2850.
This step is required only if you want to use a device to perform automated calibration.
2
Using the command prompt, navigate to the <GE Digital APM installation folder>/Upgrade folder, and then run the following command:
<datasource ID> is the identification of your data source.
<username> is the GE Digital APM username.
<password> is the GE Digital APM password.
This step is required only if you want to use the Fluke documenting process calibrator. This will replace the old Calibration Device Mappings for the device with the new ones. It will also update the existing templates to use the new Calibrator Device Mappings.
After you complete this step, a log file is generated containing information about the upgrade process.

After you complete this step, a log file is generated containing information about the upgrade process.
For each applied template, a Calibration Profile is created.
The Calibration Profile is linked to the applied template and the associated asset.
You will not be able to link additional assets to the Calibration Profile.
If using a GE Druck calibrator, in a Calibration Template that was created before the upgrade, if the value in the Temperature Element Type field is None, you must modify the value. Otherwise, you will not be able to link the Calibration Template to an Asset.
For each Calibration record whose Calibration Closed check box is selected, the state is changed to Approved.
