Copying the Supervisor station

The first step to preparing the Supervisor station is to copy the migrated station.

Prerequisites: You have secured the required licenses and the station databases are ready to install.

After installing Niagara 4 on the Supervisor PC and starting Workbench, open a platform connection to the AX-3.8 Supervisor station and stop the station.
At the N4.0 Supervisor PC (with access to N4.0-migrated station folders), install and start the N4.0 platform daemon.
For example, from the Start menu, select All Programs > Niagara 4 4.0.3 > Install Platform Daemon

In some cases, this daemon may already be running; however re-installing causes no issues.
Start Workbench (if not already started) and click Tools > Options > Station Copier Options.
The Options window opens.
Set Copy Remote Station Alarm Data and Copy Remote Station History Data to true, and click OK
Open a local platform connection  (in the Nav tree, right-click My Host, and choose Open Platform).
After platform login, go to the Station Copier platform view.
Ready-to-install migrated stations are on the left side, in your Workbench User Home, and there is no station installed on the right side, in the daemon user home (localhost).If your migrated station folders are not on the left side, copy them into your User Home. For example in: C:\Users\userName\Niagara4.x\<brand>\stations
Select the migrated Supervisor station, and copy (install) to the daemon user home.
To transfer in this station copy, choose to Copy files from selected directories, and START AFTER INSTALL... and AUTO-START... and click Next. As shown below, select all station folders
Select all station folders to be transferred and click Next > Finish.
