Additional notes:
Upgrading Wonderware Intelligence installs 2014 R3 (v2.1) on a computer that has a previous version currently installed.
Note: Wonderware Intelligence 2014 R3 (v2.1) supports upgrade from Wonderware Intelligence 2012 (1.5 SP1) or later. We recommend to back up your Wonderware Intelligence database and export your model configuration before proceeding with your system upgrade.
The following high level steps for upgrade are mentioned for your reference. However, it is imperative that you must refer to the Upgrade section of the Wonderware Intelligence Installation Guide for further details.
Note:If you want to upgrade the Intelligence Model Deployment utility, refer to the Upgrading Intelligence Model Deployment Utility section.
Note: The Intelligence 2014 R3 includes DateTime2 native support. After clicking 'Configure' the Intelligence Data Store will be updated by replacing all datetime columns to datetime2 columns. This upgrade may take a while. You may monitor the activities of the upgrade using your SMC logger. Do not close the Configurator until the upgrade has completed.
Alternatively:
Note: The Schneider Electric Licensing Server component is not installed as a part of an upgrade and if a local license server is required, you must install and configure the Schneider Electric Licensing Server component after the upgrade using the installation Modify option. If you are using a remote license server, then configure the Schneider Electric License Server to point to the remote node in the Configurator utility.
If you are using Wonderware Intelligence with the Intelligence Model Deployment utility (no IDE configuration environment), follow these steps to upgrade your system:
To upgrade the utility, do the following:

Contact your distributor or the Wonderware Technical Support to obtain these hot fixes.
This release of Wonderware Intelligence enforces licensing through the new Schneider Electric Licensing system.
For more information regarding the Licensing of Wonderware Intelligence, see the Schneider Electric License Server Guide available at the following location in the system where Schneider Electric Licensing is installed: All Programs -> Schneider Electric -> Schneider Electric License Manager User Guide.
The Analytics Client (Tableau Desktop) and Dashboard Server (Tableau Server) versions shipped with Wonderware Intelligence are allowed to access data only from the Wonderware Intelligence data store and data sources used in the Intelligence model (Drill-down scenario for example). Using the Analytics Client outside of those boundaries is a violation of the license agreement.
The Wonderware Intelligence software enforces licensing for the Analytics Client through license keys provided by Wonderware, on your license certificate. When you first start the Analytics Client, a software activation window prompts you to enter the license key. The same applies for the Dashboard Server.
This section describes important resolved issues. The following list is not a comprehensive list of all resolved issues.
| L00133802: | Error occurred while performing SQL validation for Dimension Filter, or Measure Expression Calculation, or Aggregate Filter on Intelligence 2014 R2 running on Wonderware System Platform 2014 R2 SP1. This issue is fixed now and a warning message is shown. | ||
| L00138246: | When a source record was modified against a dimension linked to other dimensions, additional records were added and marked as obsolete. This issue is fixed. | ||
| L00138165: | Polling Time Defining Dimension Queue Items from the data store timed for high volume measures. This issue is fixed. |
| 549683: | Error occurred while performing SQL validation for Dimension Filter, or Measure Expression Calculation, or Aggregate Filter on Intelligence 2014 R2 running on ArchestrA System Platform 2012 R2. | ||
| L00102948: | If you import a model using .csv, and the model includes dimensions that have filters, the objects will be in an error state after you validate them.
To work around this issue, open the Dimension object, go to the Filter tab, slightly modify the filter expression (for example, add a space at the end), and then validate the expression. After you save and check in the object, the object will no longer be in an error state. |
||
| L00108588: | Measure records will get a valid context reference only when both the dimension key field's data type and measure source field's data type in the measure relation are the same. If they are not of the same data type, then 0 (meaning no matching record found) is assigned as the context reference for the measure record. This issue mainly occurs when you are using any numeric data type as a key dimension field. | ||
| L00110814: | If you attempt to view a custom query in an instance of a DataSource object template in the ArchestrA IDE version 3.1 SP3 or later, the IDE stops responding. To work around this issue, view the custom query in the object template, not the instance. | ||
| L00115066: | When you change only the priority of a source data item using the Select Source Data Items dialog box for a dimension, the object is not marked as updated. Even after you redeploy the object, the old configuration is retained. Make sure that you have performed some other configuration (for example, edit the description) so that the asterisk appears next to the object name and you are prompted to save the object. | ||
| L00115753: | If you lock the Data Adapter Type list in a DataSource object derived template, changes to the available adapter list performed at the derived template level are not propagated to the instance object. Because the DataAdapterTypes attribute contains an incorrect list, this causes errors if you set/retrieve the DataAdapterType attribute for the instance object. To work around this issue, do not lock the Data Adapter Type list. | ||
| L00136275: | If you connect to an incorrect Wonderware Historian in the Data Source and then try to connect to the correct Wonderware Historian, the logger continuously logs warning messages that it is still unable to connect to the incorrect Historian.
Workaround: You must restart the Wonderware Intelligence Data Adapter service to stop the warning messages in the SMC logger. |
||
| L00136325: | If a measure is undeployed while it is busy processing calculation, the following errors/warnings will be returned in the SMC logger: "ExecuteMeasureBackfill() failed unexpectedly. Retry measure backfill Measure [name of measure]." You can ignore these messages. | ||
| L00136408: | When you import a model in ArchestrA IDE set on a different Operating System language than the original creation language, the Data Source time zone
is not set properly and can cause issues during model deployment.
Workaround: After importing the model, make sure to remap the Data Source(s) time zone in the Connection tab of the Data Source object. |
||
| L00138010: | A custom query that contains an ORDER BY clause does not return data at run time.
To work around this limitation, you can use a stored procedure. For more information, see the documentation.. |
