Migrating V5.84 projects to V6

[grhsc]

Dear developer, I am trying to use V6, 2 questions
Can the old 5.84 project copy the corresponding folder to the new V6 file according to the content described in the previous manual? Are there any other special changes?
https://rapidscada.net/doc/content/latest/en/installation-and-run/migrate-configuration.html

In the installation instructions of V6, the RAM drive needs to be set up, is this a necessary step?
How much will the performance decrease if I don’t use a RAM drive but a hard disk?
If I use a RAM drive, will I lose log files after a power outage? Or is the RAM drive just caching ?

Thank you in advance.

Projects for Rapid SCADA 5 and 6 have different structure. Before using an old project for new Rapid SCADA, the project has to be converted. We will provide a project converter app later.

the RAM drive needs to be set up, is this a necessary step?

If you use SSD, using RAM drive is important to save SSD’s life.

How much will the performance decrease if I don’t use a RAM drive but a hard disk?

We have not measured it. RAM drive is needed to avoid much of writing to SSD.

If I use a RAM drive, will I lose log files after a power outage? Or is the RAM drive just caching ?

Some RAM drive apps allow to save files on shutdown. My favorite is ROG RAM Disk.

Hello,

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Download the tools from this folder. See ProjConv5to6.zip, HistConv5to6.zip and EventConv5to6.zip
The project converter archive contains readme.txt

There are a lot of differences between v5 and v6 projects. It’s normal to have some questions during conversion.
