Is it possbile to restore project backups from Millennium into Empower 3? - WKB109403
Article number: 109403
ENVIRONMENT
- Empower 3
ANSWER
Yes. Importing older projects into newer versions of Empower is possible because upgrade scripts are automatically applied to the project during the import
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Project restoration considerations for Millennium or Empower 2 projects:
- To restore a Millennium 2.1x project: the Pre 3.0 Converter utility tool is run on the selected project. Projects older than version 2.1x must first be updated to version 2.1x before upgrading to Empower.
- Tip:If you are restoring a project created in Millennium version 3.0 or earlier, you need to perform a refresh in Configuration Manager in order to see the restored projects. After the Pre 3.0 converter utility tool restoration process ends, press F5 in the Configuration Manager tree. (Same information available on Empower Help Topic)
- Check all projects which are to be migrated for any blank Vial ID's which could cause restore to fail https://support.waters.com/KB_Inf/Empower_Breeze/WKB17927_Unable_to_restore_an_Empower_2_project_into_Empower_3
