Warning

4.5 or earlier version of FIN cannot be manually migated, click on the following link for more information: https://www.j2inn.com/migrate-to-5

Manual Migration from 4.5 to 5.0

To run the migration manually, the user can follow the below steps. If you have a FIN 4.5 project backup, but don't have FIN 4.5 installed, look at step 2 below on how to migrate that without the FIN 4.5 service.

Note

Alarm History, Browser Cache, Bookmark, FIN desktop shortcut

Before migrating, the user should be prepared to let their customers know few issues they may encounter after migration and how to resolve them if they do come across them. Those issues involve alarm history, browser cache, bookmarks, and/or FIN desktop shortcut. If they don't come across them, it is still recommended to clear browser cache.

Alarm History
Alarm history is not migrated over. That means historical alarms are not copied over to FIN 5.0. Programs that generate the alarms are still there just can’t see older alarms records that were created.

Browser Cache
To resolve the browser cache, they would have to follow the below steps to clear browser cache:

  1. On the Chrome browser, hit the F12 key on the keyboard (opens up the Developer tools)

    1. If F12 doesn't work, they can go to browser Settings (top right corner)

    2. Select "More tools"

    3. Then select "Developer tools"

  2. Then right-click on the browser refresh icon

  3. Select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"

  4. Once the page reloads, they can close the Developer tools window

Bookmark and FIN desktop shortcut
To resolve this, they can follow this doc on how to Launch Specific Project.
