Migrate earlier InTouch applications to the current version

You can migrate applications developed with older versions of the InTouch HMI to the current version. When you attempt to open an older application with either WindowMaker or WindowViewer, you are shown the Application Migration dialog box. Here you can:

• Choose to convert the application resolution.

• Create a backup copy before migrating the old application to the current version of the InTouch HMI.

You can migrate existing standalone, modern, or published InTouch applications to the current InTouch version. You must specify the folder to create the backup copy and if you want to exclude any files from the backup.

1. From the application list, double-click on an application.

   The Application Migration dialog box appears.

2. To convert the application resolution from the original to the current resolution, select the Convert the application resolution from <existing resolution> to <new resolution> checkbox.

3. To change the default backup path (<Application Directory>\Bak), clear the check box for Backup the application before migration. Then, type the path to the folder in the Backup Path box where you want to save the backup. If the folder does not exist, you must create it, and then create the backup.

4. In the Ignore Files box, you can specify any files that you want to exclude from the backup. By default, all files in the application directory are backed up. Type the file names you want to exclude separated by a semicolon (;). Or, use standard wild card characters ('*' and '?') to exclude a set of files by the common characters in their names.

5. After configuring the necessary options, select OK.
