This guide explains how to use the features of the SmartPlant Engineering Manager Upgrade Utility. For full details of the upgrade process, including prerequisite activities and post-upgrade tasks, see the SmartPlant Engineering Manager Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Before using the new version of the software, we strongly recommend that you completely
upgrade your plant and applications as described in this section. For SmartPlant P&ID, you should update all drawings to the current version. A plant with a mixture of upgraded and non-upgraded data may result in some data being
permanently inaccessible.
You use the SmartPlant Engineering Manager Upgrade Utility to upgrade the plant and application databases to the latest version of the SmartPlant software.

-
Before upgrading your plants, ensure that your site is up-to-date.
-
You are not required to upgrade all plants in a particular site at the same time.
-
If you are upgrading from SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2007.x to 2014 R2, you must first install SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2009 on Windows XP and perform the upgrade from 2007.x to 2009 (including plant and application upgrades). After that, you need to upgrade the operating system to Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012 and then you must uninstall SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2009 prior to installing SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2014 R2.
Upgrading Plants and Applications Containing Projects
Running the Upgrade Utility on a plant and applications containing projects upgrades the relevant project schemas at the same time. Each of the upgrade tasks handles any necessary changes in both the plant or application databases and the project databases.
Upgrading Satellites in a Workshare Collaboration
You do not have to collapse or shut down projects or satellites in Workshare collaborations before upgrading. Upgrading a satellite is a separate process. The host for a connected satellite must be upgraded before the satellite.
