Upgrading from AMS Device Configurator

AMS Device Configurator is an unlicensed, limited-feature version of AMS Device

Manager provided to DeltaV users. To upgrade to a fully licensed version of AMS

Device Manager:

System” on page 57).

2. Stop AMS Device Manager Servers (Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager

> Terminate Servers).

3. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Licensing > Licensing

Wizard.

4. Follow the instructions in the Licensing Wizard.

5. Start AMS Device Manager to see the changes.

Backing up a database

To back up a database:

1. Back up your database (select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager >

Database Utilities > Database Backup). Save your backup file in a location on

your local drive not in the AMS folder.

2. Run Database Verify/Repair to check the database for duplicate, missing, and

corrupt records (select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Database

Utilities > Database Verify Repair).

3. Repeat step 1.

Restoring a database

To restore a database:

Note

For a very large database, the Verify/Repair operation can take a considerable length of

time.

Note

If performing a database backup on a Windows 7/Windows 2008 Server or Windows 8/

Windows 2012 Server PC with User Account Control enabled, log in with a username

included in the AmsDeviceManager Windows group to avoid multiple error messages.
