Migration Tool

Getting Started > Upgrading to Citect SCADA 2018 > Migration Tool | Upgrading

The automatic update that occurs when you initially launch Citect SCADA 2018 does not fully upgrade your projects, and needs to be followed by the use of the Migration Tool (if migrating from v7.x this is particularly noteworthy). The automatic update is a passive action which updates the database field definition for any database that has been changed between the two versions and copies new files that are necessary in 2018.

The Migration Tool is a separate application which has to be run manually after the automatic upgrade has been executed. It can be initiated after you have prepared the project for final migration. This tool will accommodate the changes in project functionality that are incorporated in 7.0 and 2018.

Note: Some of the features introduced in 2018 of Citect SCADA require changes in the project data from version 6.x
