Upgrading from Version 6.3 or 7.0

Upgrading from Plant Applications Version 6.3 or 7.0 to 8.0

Before You Begin

Delete the existing Message Bridge configuration file located at <Plant Applications installation folder>\Proficy Server\RabbitMQMessageBridgeService\Proficy.PlantApps.MessageBridge.Service.exe. This is because installing Plant Applications does not replace the old configuration file with the new one.
