Migrate Configuration to New Server

The typical tasks when Rapid SCADA migration to another server is needed:

• The software deployment on a production server when the configuration has been done using a developer workstation.
• Server replacement.

Configuration migration sequence:

1. Ensure that connections between the server and the devices are properly configured: the required serial ports exist, industrial controllers available via the network, etc.
2. Install Rapid SCADA on the new server, but do not start Server and Communicator services.
3. Stop Server and Communicator services on the obsolete server. Set Manual startup type of these services.
4. Copy the content of the directories listed below from the obsolete server to the new server (default directories are shown):
   C:\SCADA\BaseDAT
   C:\SCADA\BaseSDF
   C:\SCADA\Interface
   C:\SCADA\ScadaComm\Config
   C:\SCADA\ScadaServer\Config
   C:\SCADA\ScadaWeb\config
5. Copy the data archive located in the following directories from the obsolete server to the new server:
   C:\SCADA\ArchiveDAT
   C:\SCADA\ArchiveDATCopy
6. Start Server and Communicator services on the new server.
7. Check logs.
