This guide explains how to use the features of the Intergraph Smart® Engineering Manager Upgrade Utility. For full details of the upgrade process, including prerequisite activities and post-upgrade tasks, see the Smart Engineering Manager Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Before using the new version of the software, we strongly recommend that you completely
upgrade your plant and applications as described in this section. For Smart P&ID, you should update all drawings to the current version. A plant with a mixture of
upgraded and non-upgraded data may result in some data being permanently inaccessible.
-
You use the Smart Engineering Manager Upgrade Utility to upgrade the plant and application databases to the latest version of the software.
-
If you are upgrading from SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2007.x to Smart Engineering Manager 2019, you must first install SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2009 on Windows XP and perform the upgrade from 2007.x to 2009 (including plant and application upgrades). After that, you need to upgrade the operating system to a suitable Windows version (for details, see Smart Engineering Manager Workstation under Hardware and Software Recommendations) and then you must uninstall SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2009 prior to installing Smart Engineering Manager 2019.
-
If you are upgrading from a database version of SmartPlant P&ID or SmartPlant Electrical earlier than 2009, you must first upgrade that database version to SmartPlant P&ID or SmartPlant Electrical 2009 using Version 2009 of the Upgrade Utility before upgrading to the current version of the application.
Upgrading Plants and Applications Containing Projects
Running the Upgrade Utility on a plant and applications containing projects upgrades the relevant project schemas at the same time. Each of the upgrade tasks handles any necessary changes in both the plant or application databases and the project databases.
Upgrading Satellites in a Workshare Collaboration
You do not have to collapse or shut down projects or satellites in Workshare collaborations before upgrading. Upgrading a satellite is a separate process. The host for a connected satellite must be upgraded before the satellite.
