Upgrading from IntraVUE 1 to IntraVUE 2

IntraVUE 1 stored web content under the folder 

      ..\Program Files\Intravue\htdocs.

IntraVUE 2 stores web content under the folder 

      ..\Program Files\Intravue\Autoip\tomcat5\webapps\ROOT

If you have upgraded from a version of IntraVUE before 2.0 this page explains how to:

Important. IntraVUE 2's file names and path names are case sensitive when used for images and web links stored on the host computer. If you have some images or web pages that don't seem to work, check the case first. (IntraVUE 1's web server was not case sensitive)

Import Device images and web links to the database

This step updates data for each device inside the IntraVUE database. This is done by using the export/import feature of IntraVUE.

To start you will need an Export from version 1. If you don't have one you can still make one by restoring the version 1 database and doing an export of that data from IntraVUE 2.

1. Make a backup of your current IntraVUE 2 database.

2a. If you haven't made an Export, restore your last version 1 database. (A backup was automatically made and saved as UpgradeBackup.dmp in IntraVUE's dbBackup folder.)

2b. Use Export.from the System Menu, select a location, and save the .CSV file.

3. Use Import from the System Menu, select the location of the saved Export file and import it.

4. Select Confirm. For more information on the meaning of the lines in this dialog, see Import Export

5. The database information for your images and web links has now been updated.

Copy Image Files

This step copies the images and web pages from their IntraVUE 1 location to their IntraVUE 2 location.

For images only (thumbnail and icon images) IntraVUE 1 stored a separate set of images for each View in folders under htdocs\images. For example there was a folder for all the images in IP View in the folder ...\htdocs\images\IPview. A total of 6 folders.

For images only, IntraVUE 2 stores all images in a common folder under root named ..\ROOT\Intravue\images.

The reason for the change was based on user feedback indicating the same images were used in all folders.

There are several ways to copy images from each IntraVUE 1 folder location to the common IntraVUE 2 location. The text below can be pasted into a batch file and perform the entire process in one step. Otherwise, follow the basic process described below one folder at a time. If you have not installed IntraVUE in the default location, edit the FROM and TO as appropriate.

 copy "%FROM%\ud2view\*.*"     "%TO%" /Y
 copy "%FROM%\ud3view\*.*"     "%TO%" /Y

Copy Web Pages

In order for the web links that have been imported into the database from IntraVUE 1 to work with IntraVUE 2, you must copy the files from the old web server root location to the new web server root location.

If a folder named "manuals" was created under IntraVUE 1's htdocs, you need to copy that folder and all its files to IntraVUE 2's root folder.

IntraVUE 1's root > ..\Program Files\Intravue\htdocs\manuals

IntraVUE 2's root > ...\Program Files\Intravue\Autoip\tomcat5\webapps\ROOT\manuals
