Special Notes

Before upgrading, please take note of the known issues in the Installation Issues section of this document.

Note: Prior to upgrading, confirm that your Hist Queue and Error Queue are empty. Because of changes to the AVEVA Batch Management History database, any data left in the Hist Queue or Error Queue will not be accessible in the upgraded version. Also, ensure that all batches have ended and that all warm restart files have been deleted.

Starting with 11.5, AVEVA Batch Management History Server and Reporting Content no longer integrate with Information Server. These features are now available through Start Menu shortcuts. For more information, see the AVEVA Batch Management Installation Guide and AVEVA Batch Management User Guide.
