AS4 MpAlarmXCore to AS6

Hello,

is there any script how to get mpalarmxcore from AS4 to AS6?

mpalarmxcore in AS4 consists all

  • Alarm Mapping (Reactions)
  • Alarm List
  • Alarm Snippets
  • Alarm Queries
  • Alarm Categories

mpalarmxcore in AS6 consists

  • Alarm Mapping (Reactions) - the same place as in AS4
  • Alarm List - moved to mpalarmxlist component
  • Alarm Snippets - moved to mpalarmxlist component
  • Alarm Queries - moved to mpalarmxquery component
  • Alarm Categories - the same place as in AS4

We have cca 200 alarms (events) defined so after the migration to AS6 I had to create a script to make a new mpalarmxlist and queries manually to keep our functionality. Is not there any conversion script for that? I know there is new functionality to have more than one mpalarmxlist, but for basic we could migrate AS4 mpalarmxcore to one AS6 mpalarmxcore + one mpalarmxlist + one mpalarmxquery. Then it would be more efficient…

Hello,

Have you tried AS4 to AS6 conversion tool?

Automation Studio should automatically convert the existing alarmxcore configuration to the new configuration when the project is upgraded. You don’t need any additional scripts for that.

The update automatically splits the configurations and correctly assigns defined user alarms, categories and queries. The link within the MpAlarmXCore configuration to the MpAlarmXList configuration and MpAlarmXCategory configuration should be checked after the update.

Automation Help: mapp AlarmX

The AS to AS6 Conversion tool can convert the mappAlarmX structures. It will create alarm
lists and move the alarms there, as well as rebuild the entire mapp hierachy. This has worked
fine in the projects I used for testing during development.

I am not entirely sure if it works with queries as well, but give it a shot.

AS6 also has some built in functionality to do this, but it is quite tricky
to launch - Make sure your mappServices version is set to “Not defined”,
and then select a 6.0.x version. Only the rising edge, of this exact event,
will trigger the mappServices upgrade dialog.

Hi Pavel,

When I started the migration, I used the migration script (AS4 to AS6 migration script - CoLab Projects / AS6 Migration - B&R Community).

Ok, I can try that conversion tool
