I have a stand alone FactoryTalk View HMI that I want to... 1. make a backup for.... and 2. use the backup machine to do incremental upgrades to FT View.
Existing machine:
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP 3
FactoryTalk View 5.00.00 CPR9 Patch/Pack 00 Build 55
Backup machine:
freshly installed Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
FactoryTalk View 5.00.00 CPR9 Patch/Pack 00 Build 55
Note: no Rockwell licenses activated, but the FT View grace period has 5 days left
I create the .apa file using the Application Manager. Transfer the file to the backup machine via USB stick. Run a restore on the backup machine via the Application Manager. Select the second option to restore FT Directory. It asks me for a username and password. I use my admin windows UN/PW (which I've read should work). Then I get an error message:
ApplicationManagerServer
The restore was not successful. The FactoryTalk View SE (local) application and FactoryTalk Local Directory for the selected APA were not restored.
If I try to restore without the Directory (1st option), I get the following message:
Application Manager
Unable to restore the application 'name_of_app' from 'location_of_apa'.
Please check that:
- there is sufficient disk space
- the application is not open elsewhere
- the destination application does not already exist
There's plenty of space and the application has never been on this machine.
I've also tried to restore another .apa file from another unrelated HMI with the same errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
