Issue
When upgrading Vista Workstation to version 5.1.6, each Xenta Servers' properties should be set to XBuilder version 5.1.6. Then by right-clicking and selecting "Edit," that project will be opened and upgraded. However, if another projects network has been browsed in, it will ask you to please upgrade that project before continuing.
If two Xenta Servers are each browsed into each other's networks, then it will not allow you to upgrade either of them. In previous versions, this was allowed, but with changes to 5.1.6 it is not possible to bypass this warning.
Environment
- Vista Workstation 5.1.6 and above
- Xenta Server
- Xenta 511, 527, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913
Cause
All Xenta Servers passing data between each other should be the same version. In the past, this fact was made optional, but with the release of 5.1.6 a check on the source file requires that they match.
Resolution
This requirement is only true of true Xenta Servers in a Vista system. Stand-alone XBuilder projects do not have this same check. To bypass the warning:
-
Go to Start > Programs > Schneider Electric > TAC Tools 5.1.6 > XBuilder
This will open XBuilder 5.1.6 in a stand alone mode (not from Vista Workstation) - Go to File > Open Project and browse to the first Xenta Server's XBuilder project file folder and double click the .xbp515 project file
- The XBuilder project will be upgraded to 5.1.6. The other project's network will still be 5.1.5, but this is allowed in the stand alone mode.
- File > Save will save the .xbp516 file to the hard drive.
- Go back to Vista Workstation, right click and edit the second Xenta Server's XBuilder project and it will not upgrade and can be saved to the Vista database and to the hard drive.
- The first Xenta Server can now also be upgraded.
