Assistance with migrating the UCO production counters to OCOs

During the migration of an older UCO that contains production counters to a newer UCO that does not contain production counters, two files are created for each galaxy for which the UCO migration is performed:

• A CSV file—CountersBackup.csv— that includes entries for each production counter and its settings. If a UCO does not have any production counters, then there will not be an entry in the CSV file for the UCO. If no UCOs have production counters, then no file will be created.

• An XML file—UCODerivationHierarchy.xml—that includes the template/instance hierarchy for the UCOs in the equipment model, regardless of whether they have production counters.

These files are stored in the following folder on the local machine:

%ProgramData%\WonderwareMES\<galaxy_name>\UCOMigrationCountersBackup

The information in these files can be used to assist in the recreation of the production counters in the OCO.

During the counter information backup, an informational message is logged by the first object/template that creates the backup folder and files. If file I/O errors occur during the backup, warning messages are logged and the backup information is instead provided in the Operations Control Management Console Log Viewer.

Note: If you restore the UCOs to a version prior to 5.2 and then want to upgrade again, you must first remove the CSV and XML files in the UCOMigrationCountersBackup folder. Otherwise, the backup information will not be properly created during the subsequent migration.
