• Wonderware InBatch 9.0

The process will upgrade all components as required.

The following is a list of important points that you must note during the upgrade process.

• Once the upgrade process is completed, you have to run the CVTMaster.exe utility to upgrade the application databases.

• When you install AVEVA Batch Management 2023 R2 on a system that has versions of InBatch earlier than InBatch 11.0, there may be "Tag Write" errors at runtime (from BatchMngr). There are new "Formula specific" system tags. You should perform a "Model Edit / Model Validation" to generate these new System tags on your existing equipment. Initially these new tags will be memory tags. If using Batch Objects, you can re-export the model and re-deploy the Batch Objects.

• When you upgrade from previous versions (11.0 or earlier) of InBatch to AVEVA Batch Management 2023 R2, all the InBatch links from Information Server database are removed. You can verify the NavNode, NavRole, NavPanelNode tables from where all InBatch related rows must be removed. The .rdl template files are also removed from the ArchestrA\InBatch Reports folder and are now deployed in the InBatch Reports folder in the Reporting service URL.

• Users can access the reports from the standard Reporting Services URL or the shortcut menu available in the InBatch folder. The reports will not be available from the Information Server. Also, the History Database Administration and Reports Administration web pages now have their own shortcut menu and is available in the InBatch folder.

• If you have created custom reports (InBatch versions prior to 11.5) and want to convert them to the latest version of AVEVA Batch Management, no longer rely on Information Server. For more information, see the Batch Management Custom Report Update Guide (BatchManagementCustRepGuide.pdf).

• The upgrade supports AVEVA Batch Management with Foxboro DCS components and without Foxboro DCS components.

• To upgrade from a version older than Wonderware InBatch 9.0, first uninstall the previous version and then install AVEVA Batch Management 2023 R2.

• When you upgrade InBatch from an earlier version to AVEVA Batch Management 2023 R2, the .CSV message files available at "C:\Program Files\Wonderware\InBatch\Messages" are backed up and are placed at the same location: "C:\Program Files\Wonderware\InBatch\Messages".

  Any new .CSV files are also added to the following folder: "C:\Program Files\Wonderware\InBatch\Messages\English".

• You need to manually update or copy the resources files to be able to get the correct messages after upgrade from InBatch 11.0. If you have not manually updated the resource files in InBatch 11.0, then you should copy all the resource files. For more information on the list of updated messages in the resource files, refer to the Resource File section.

  Note: If you are using the InBatch GUI Controls and upgrading from 10.2 or earlier, you may need to adjust some of your InTouch application layouts. Some of the controls have been increased in size to better accommodate larger values. Also, a new "Formula" column was added to several list controls.
