Often, you use the same PC to run the migration tool, on the
Supervisorstation archives, as well as the station archives of all controllers being migrated. When this is the case, you usually do not choose to “Install and start the (
N4.0) platform daemon” when first installing the
Niagara 4 software. This lets the
AX-3.8 platform daemon continue to host the
Supervisor station while you use the migration tool. It also lets you become familiar with
Workbench, and yet still have
Workbench available for interim tasks.
NOTE: When installing
Niagara 4 software on the
Supervisor PC, be sure to select the option “This instance of
Niagara 4 will be used as an installation tool”. Refer to the Niagara 4 Installation Guide for details.
Alternatively, you may have used a different PC to run the migration tool, and perhaps even to (eventually) use as the new
Supervisor host for the job.
As different combinations are possible in a transition such as this, use the procedures and steps provided to serve as a general
guide.
