Migration from Designer 2.1x to 2.5

[Pierre Kil]

Good news! We (actually Eric) found a way to export your project from version 2.1 (the previous Free Designer) into version 2.5. For users of version 2.4 (previous version of the Professional Designer), you can safely upgrade and login with you existing account in version 2.5.

The migration server might cause issues for some accounts and/or some protocols are missing in 2.5. Please report any issues, so we can look into it, but no guarantees. Depending on amount of requests and required effort we will try and solve any issues.

[Eric Bariaux]

To allow users to migrate their design from the 2.1 designer to the new 2.5 one, we did set-up a migration server: https://designer-migration.openremote.com
This server contains a backup of the 2.1 database as of June 23rd.
Users can log in using their 2.1 designer username and password and download an export of their configuration.
This configuration can then be imported into a 2.5 account on https://designer.openremote.com. Note that an import will completely replace the existing configuration.

Please only use this migration server for exporting your configuration and don't do any design work on it.
This server is only temporary and will be eventually shutdown depending on the migration needs.
Data on this server might also be replaced with the same or another backup depending on the needs.
In that case, we will post appropriate information in this thread.

Known issues

Due to a previous bug in the 2.1 designer, we have occasionally observed an error (error 500) when doing the export.
If this is the case, please report the issue indicating your username, re-trying the download does not fix the issue.

Some protocols that are present in 2.1 are not available in 2.5.
In that case, your configuration might not import correctly or you will not be able to modify any of the commands for those protocols.
If this is the case, please report which protocol is causing an issue for you.
We do not promise to include all the missing protocols but will evaluate based on the received feedback.

Thanx Peter

In exporting I got the 500 error message. My user name is wraymond6134

[Pierre Kil]

If you have tried the migration server to migrate from 2.1 to 2.5 (see post by Eric) and have NOT faced any issues, we appreciate if you can share that with us as well. We are aware of the error 500 issue, while using the migration server, but we want to get a better picture on how frequent this issue arises. So please keep posting issues you are facing but definitely share with us if the migration worked for you.

Thanks -- Pierre

[OpenDude]

Sure - 

No issue in exporting from 2.1 and importing it in the 2.5 designer.

Just need to switch to the 2.5 Controller still though! :)

Hi,
Trying to migrate my project from 2.1 designer to Pro and this is what I have done so far

1) I logged into 2.1 designer and exported my project (user franksylvia)
2) I logged into the migration website and noticed that it wasn't up to date so I imported the export zip from designer 2.1 but received the following error...

"There was an implementation error in Designer while restoring your account data. The system administrators have been notified of this issue. To prevent potential damage to your data, further modifications have been disabled until the admins have cleared the issue. Do not make changes to your designs or configuration during this period, as these changes may get lost. For further assistance, please contact support.

Any thoughts on what I need to do next ?

Thanks

I also got a 500 error

Can you help ?

[Martin Darwin]

I tried the migration.

I didn't get error 500. The design loaded, but I could not download the zip file.

Nevermind... getting the error 500 now.

The design was originally from http://composer.openremote.org/preview/login.jsp

H,
Just trying to figure out the correct process here.. we seem to be getting very little from OR on this one.. not even sure if all the issues reported above have been fixed...

I have a 2.3 project.. (it has been modified quite a bit since june 23rd since the blanket copy was completed by Eric)
Could somebody confirm if my understanding is correct..
Step 1) I export from the free designer (lets call this zip1)
Step 2) I import this zip1 into the 'migration designer'
Step 3) I check all is okay and export that zip (lets call this zip2)
Step 4) I then import this zip2 into the pro designer.

assuming all works and I get no errors I am complete

Is this the right process or have I all mixed up...
If I get an issue I email support at openremote dot org

thoughts / support appreciated

[Martin Darwin]

My impression was to log into the migration server with the old credentials. The design should already be there (mine is... though I get 500 error sometimes). Export the zip file (which I can't do) and then import it into the 2.5 designer.

Maybe my design to too large to export.. dunno. I have tried a few times....no luck

[Gideon Heinert]

Hello,

Some, like me have their own standalone Designer installation of 2.1.

Is there way to import this into the 2.5 Designer or into a standalone installation of 2.5?

Is there somewhere a version of the "Migration Server" one can compile and run it as standalone server to produce a zip file that can be imported into 2.5?

Best wishes

Gideon

[Gareth Steele]

I would also like to know how we can get hold of an up to date Migration Server for standalone use - or how to load my old version 2.1 project in to the migration server so as to be able to export it for version 2.5

Currently if I try to import my old project into the migration site i get a load of errors and it doesnt work and the version on the migration box is way out of date and useless to me.

[Eric Bariaux]

Yes, this is the correct process.

There is no need to use the older staging / free designer for the migration.

The migration server has a copy of data from the free server.
The procedure is to:
- login in the migration server with the "old" credential from the free designer.
- export a zip file from the migration server
- login in the 2.5 server with new credentials
- import the zip file

Please don't import anything in the migration server, or do any other work there, the database will get replaced.
Don't import zip files exported from the free designer into the 2.5 designer, this will not work, the zip must come from the migration server.

We are aware that there are many 500 errors when trying this migration.
This can't be solved on a case by case basis.
The reason we asked users to report their experience here is to gauge the amount of accounts that had issues.
People posting their account information helps as it points us to accounts that exhibit the issue, but does not mean we can go and fix anything.

The main issue is related to duplicate ids and the way the information is stored and not a trivial one to fix.
We will keep investigating the issue and update you when progress is made.

Given the above issues, there is no point in updating the database with more recent data from the free designer at this stage.

[Eric Bariaux]

The migration server is basically a 2.5 server with data from the free server.
As you have a local copy, the option would be that you have a local install of a 2.5 version, which is not possible at this time.
We'll keep investigating the options and keep you posted.

[Davy Lowet]

Hello,

I have the error 500

username: dlowet

I could do an export, but the import fails.

It would be very nice if it can be resolved!

[Gideon Heinert]

Hi Eric,

Would it be possible for you to post the required format/schemes of the new openremote.zip file that can be imported into 2.5. Maybe those of us with a standalone designer cab then manually generate a openremote.zip file in the right format for import into 2.5????

Thanks Gideon

As I mentioned in another topic, the 'raw' "Serial" protocol seems to be missing from 2.5. Is there any plan to add it back?

If yes, would it also be possible to add the regex parsing and filtering features (especially mainly Read Regex Filter and Default Read Response) found in the telnet protocol options? It would make it a good deal more useful.


Thanks!

Hello Pierre,

Since yesterday the UI Designer doesn't save the changes. When I create new stuff or changr anything, then save the changes, log out, log in, the changes are discarded. Also extrating to ZIP discardes the changes.

Do you know where the problem is? Deleting temp file of the browser doesn't help. I'm new at open remote and does not know what's wrong.

Hi.

After a long time I am back to OR. I can't log to the migration server. with any of my users.

.I have an account on the 2.1 server with a running project and a new one you have created for me in the days of Pro version to test the ModBus with HTTP etc.

I can't migrate to ver 2.5.

I need your help.

Hi again.

Any chance the error shall be fixed?

I want to migrate and do not want to build my project from the biginning.

I have about 30 devices and lots of control.

  Another option is to backup the project in the old free designer and  in the migration server to erase what causing the error.

The issue is I do not have any idea what to erase.

Thanks,

Same here still can export from old system to new system and version on migration server is so out of date.

Is anyone at OpenRemote still participating in this form / is anything being done about this error or are we being forced to scrap all our projects and start from scratch

[Steffen G]

Hello

I did an export in 2.1 and imported it in 2.5. Now the 2.5 designer account seems to be blocked and an "admin should have a look" it says.

[Glenn Tamura]

Hello...  I tried to log into the migration server, but it doesn't recognize my credentials.  So, I went back and deleted a few of the mistakes (I made while building my first trial Panel), and  then tried it again.  

But, it still won't let me log into the new controller v2.5 Migration server.  I can still log into my old Controller v2.1 account using my old login name of "glenntamura", (with a password of 0014a58199ABC@), but won't work in v2.5.

Also, if it helps, when I run the command window bat file, it loads ok, but near the end of the .bat file it says something "unable to retrieve controller identity, re-trying in 1000 ms"

I appreciate any advice I can get....

Glenn.

[Eric Bariaux]

Please NEVER post your password on a public forum.
I've changed your password, please reset it to continue working.
Migration server was a try, it does not work for most users. I've now disabled it, it's not useful.

[Glenn Tamura]

OK, sorry.... I'll not do it again.

I believe that it is offline. I have been trying to get on there since March without success.

[Eric Bariaux]

Yes, the migration designer has been shutdown as it never worked appropriately.

[Liam Whiteside]

Could someone remove the instructions to use it and the linkfrom the main web site then? It would have saved quite a bit of wasted time. Perhaps also add a note that there is no way to use a design from the old 2.1 version in the latest 2.5/2.6 release.

Hi , is there a way to use my old project (2.1) on my synology NAS again?
