Downgrade WinCC OA project.

Post by jinwonds »

Hello, guys.
I already made project using WinCC OA 3.15 Version [P13].
But we have to use WinCC OA 3.14 Version.

So, Is there any way to downgrade WinCC OA 3.15 to WinCC OA 3.14 version?

Thank you.

An automatic downgrade of the WinCC OA version is not possible.

You have to do a lot of manual steps to make the downgrade, e.g. the following points have to be taken into account:
-- Making an ASCII export for the project specific datapoints and doing an import in the project running 3.14.
-- When importing internal datapoints with the ASCII manager you have to ensure that the DP type structure in 3.14 fits the type structure in 3.15. If you are importing a structure which is different in 3.15 possibly the executables/panels/scripts which are using the internal datapoints will not work correctly.
-- You have to check if no functions are used which are only available in 3.15 or a newer version. If such a function is found you will have to rework the scripts.
-- For panels it is not ensured that panels defined in 3.15 also work in 3.14.
....

Can you do an version upgrade to 3.15 for the project running 3.14?

I can't upgrade running project of 3.14 version to 3.15 version because of license.
I will do downgrade manually.

Thank you for your reply.

I have one more question.
While I downgraded 3.15 to 3.14 version manually, I saw this icon few times.
But I don't know what this Icon means. (Help file also doesn't have this information)

So, Could you explain what this Icon means?

The icon in the panel treeview is the indication for a "Device Class".
Please search for "Device Class" in the WinCC OA Documentation to get more information.

If you want to have a license upgrade for a newer version please get in contact with your common WinCC OA sales contact.

I searched "Device Class" and I understood what it is.
Thank you!
