Calibration Management Upgrade

Upgrade or Update Calibration Management to V5.1.4.0.0

The following table provides you the reference to procedures to upgrade from an earlier APM version to the latest version.

  2. Upgrade from any version V5.0.1.0.0 through V5.0.6.0.0
V4.6.1.x or earlierV5.1.4.0.0
  1. Upgrade from any version V4.6.1.x or earlier to V4.6.2.0.0 or a later V4.6.x release
  2. Upgrade from any version V4.6.2.0.0 through V4.6.10.0.0
  3. Upgrade from any version V5.0.1.0.0 through V5.0.6.0.0
Note: For more information on upgrading to APM V4.6.2.0.0 or a later V4.6.x release, refer to the Upgrade documentation for the corresponding version.

Upgrade from any version V5.1.0.0.0 through V5.1.3.1.0

The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V5.1.4.0.0. 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.

When you upgrade:
  • 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.
StepTaskNotes
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 APM, then you must follow the instructions in KBA 000059233.

This step is required only if you want to use a device to perform automated calibration.

2

Using the command prompt, navigate to the <APM installation folder>/Upgrade folder, and then run the following command:

Meridium.DbUtility.CalibDeviceMappingsUpgradeUtility.exe <datasource ID> <username> <password>

Where,

  • <datasource ID> is the identification of your data source.

  • <username> is the APM username.

  • <password> is the 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.

Install the Meridium Device Service

About This Task

Important: You must repeat this procedure on each machine to which you will connect a calibrator.

The Meridium Device Service can be installed as part of the workflow when you try to send data to calibrator or verify the settings of the calibrator.

Procedure

  1. Access the Calibration Management Overview page.
    Note: A calibrator does not need to be connected.
  2. Select the Calibration Tools tab.

  6. Select Save.
    The modified query is saved.

Revert the Calibration Management Queries to Baseline

This action is required only if you have modified the Calibration Management queries.

About This Task

If you have modified the Calibration Management queries, perform the following steps to revert the query to baseline.

Procedure

  1. Access the Catalog page.
  2. Navigate to the Public folder for the query that you want to revert.
    For Calibration Management, the public queries are stored in the following folder:
    Public\Meridium\Modules\Calibration Management\Queries
  3. Select the check box next to the query that you want to revert, and then select .
    The Confirm Delete window appears, prompting you to confirm if you want to delete the selected query.
