Migrate tour data

Before importing tour data into the PI Manual Logger 3.x database, you must set up the correct SQL connection to your SQL Server database. For details, see SQL Server configuration.

Migrate your data from PI Manual Logger 1.4.x tour definitions.

1. Click Start > All Programs > PI System > PI Manual Logger > PIML Tour Migration Tools.

2. PI Manual Logger Tour Migration Tools enables you to maintain the tag sequence order as defined in tours migrated from PIML 1.4. If you want to preserve tag sequence order, select Keep tag sequence order and disregard group order.

3. Click Browse to locate your PI Manual Logger 1.4.x Access database.

   The database file must have the .mdb extension.

4. Click Start to begin the tour migration process.

5. In the Assign Permission Groups window, choose the appropriate full permission and data entry permission groups for all tours that are being migrated.

   For details about permission groups, see User database management.

6. Click OK.

   The Tour Migration Tool window shows the migration process details.

PI Manual Logger 3.x records all tour migration events in its Message Logs. Use the PI Manual Logger message log viewer for auditing or reviewing purposes. See "View and edit the message log" in the PI Manual Logger Operator Guide.

After a tour has been migrated with the Keep tag sequence order and disregard group order check box selected, users can manually sequence tags if the Manage Tag Order Sequence Manually tour option is selected in the Tour Options General tab. See Tag sequence rearrangement and Reorder tags and tag groups for details.
