Steps to Be Taken to Manually Backup Required Files on an iFIX 5.1/iFIX 5.

5/iFIX
5.8 (Source Machine) and Manually Restore to your iFIX 5.1/iFIX 5.5/iFIX 5.8
(Target Machine).

Source Machine (eg. machine running iFIX 5.1 or above)

1. Open security configuration in SCU and click File then select Export and save
the security file information to Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\LOCAL directory
as Security.RPT file.

2. Report Out the existing iFIX user security information:

(a) Click Edit then select Configuration and then click the "Disabled" radio button
to disable the security then click OK - then click the X to close the SCU and click
Yes to Save Changes.

(b) Click File then select Export and save the security file information to
Dynamics\LOCAL directory as Security.RPT file.

(c) Click Edit and then select Configuration and then click the "Enabled" radio
button to reenable the security then click OK - then click the X to close the SCU
and click Yes to Save Changes.

3. Manually backup all .CSV, .CFG and .DAT files in the Program
Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\HTR directory.

4. Manually backup all .H04, .H08 and/or .H24 files for each listed node under the
Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\HTRDATA directory.

5. Manually backup ONLY the Security.RPT file in the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy

iFIX\LOCAL directory.

NOTE: It is recommended that a new SCU file be created manually for the new node
on the new IFIX machine and not to backup existing *.SCU files on the source
machine/restore to target machine due to potential issues with iFIX security; path
configuration differences; etc.

6. Manually backup all .GRF, .TGD and the User.FXG files in the Program
Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\PIC directory - NOTE: If you have created any custom
color tables (.FTB) or custom dynamos (.FDS) these should be backed up as well.

7. Export the existing iFIX database file and any I/O driver configuration files,
saving each as a .CSV file and then manually backup these .CSV files as well as the
AlarmAreas.AAD, any .PDB; any .EVS files, and any driver configuration files (eg.
*.ABR, *.MB1, etc.) in the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\PDB directory.

8. Manually backup all files in the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\RCC

directory - (as applicable).

9. Manually backup all files in the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\RCM

directory - (as applicable).

10. Finally, if security is enabled, then re-enable User Based Security on the
source machine by opening the SCU and clicking on Configure - Security then the Key
icon in the Toolbox to launch the Configuration then click the Enabled radio button
and click OK and Click on the "X" to close the Security Configuration and then
click the "Yes" button when prompted with the message "Configuration has changed.
Save new changes?"
Target Machine (eg. machine running iFIX 5.1 or higher)

1. Manually restore the backed up directories/files to the target machine as

follows:

(a) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\HTR
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\HTR directory;

(b) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\HTRDATA
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\HTRDATA directory;

(c) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\LOCAL
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\LOCAL directory;

(d) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\PIC
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\PIC directory;

(e) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\PDB
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\PDB directory;

(f) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\RCC
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\RCC directory;

(g) Restore all backup files from the Program Files\GE Fanuc\Proficy iFIX\RCM
directory to the Program Files\Proficy\Proficy iFIX\RCM directory.

2. Create a new SCU file and configure the file as required, making certain to
change the node name (as required).

3. If security is to be enabled on the target machine, open the Security

Configuration in the SCU and click File then Import and import the restored
Security.RPT file.

4. Recreate all user passwords for each of the Users prior to enabling security (as
failure to do so will lock all users out of the iFIX system).

5. Finally, once the security information has been imported, and the user passwords
have been recreated then reewable User Based Security by doing the following

(a) Click the Key icon in the Toolbox to launch the Configuration.

(b) Enable the User Based Security by clicking the "Enabled" radio button and click
OK.

(c) Click on the "X" to close the Security Configuration and then click the "Yes"
button when prompted with the message "Configuration has changed. Save new
changes".
