Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.2

Release 6.0.2
Installation
In order to install ROMeo 6.0.2, you must already have release 6.0 installed. The ROMeo 6.0.2 patch installation will detect if ROMeo 6.0 or 6.0.1 is installed prior to proceeding with the upgrade. No license security is required for installing the 6.0.2 patch, but is required to run ROMeo application after the patch is installed. Machines that only have the 64-bit solver installed (6.0 server installed or the 32-bit solver installed) must not use the standard 6.0.2 install patch executable. A separate executable is provided for the 64-bit solver-only install. The patch installation can be found on the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) site on the Invensys Simsci-Esscor Support Webpage under the Software Updates & Knowledge Base section. The 6.0.2 install patch and 6.0.2 64-bit solver-only patch are available for download. No additional authorization code is needed to download ROMeo patches. The 6.0.2 patch installation updates many previously installed 6.0 files and add some new files. The patch installation also updates many initialization and ROMeo system files that may require the user to copy over original customized files. Patch installations do not update license security settings.

Pre-Install Checklist
This section lists the most common obstacles that you may encounter when installing ROMeo. Before you begin the installation process: 1. Ensure that you have local administrative rights (Windows security) for the machine on which the ROMeo patch will be installed. 2. Ensure that the machine on which you are installing the patch has the appropriate release of ROMeo application installed. 3. Regenerate custom MCL.db files for previous full release or patches with the newly-installed patches. 4. Back up any custom files prior to the upgrade, and replace the generic install-generated files with the custom version, as applicable (like report format files). 5. Ensure that the ROMeo full release is available for use after the installation. 6. If the local machine has a firewall installed, put the firewall in "learning mode" during patch installation and/or the first time you start up ROMeo after the patch install.

Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.2

7. Do not uninstall any components that are currently installed for ROMeo before installing the patch. Uninstalling TDM, TAO or other components will corrupt the ROMeo installation and any subsequent patch installation.

You do not need to install sequential patches in order to get the latest patch features and fixes. All release patches include previous updates. Newer patches install over previously installed patches for the same corresponding full release. During the install, the patch updates the files in the corresponding full release installation folders. No folders from Full Release installation are automatically renamed, copied or moved. All databases generated from previous full release and patch versions will migrate to the new version. When you load a database from a previous release or patch, the installation process prompts them to migrate (schema evolution) the database. This automatically generates a copy of the original database in the previous install version; the copy has the file extension .sebak. See the Migration to ROMeo 6.0.2 section of this document for further information. ROMeo application does not support uninstalling the patch only. Only the full ROMeo installation can be removed. If you uninstall the full release, any installed patches that correspond to the full release will also be uninstalled.

Supported Operating Systems

Following operating systems are supported:

Windows XP SP2 and SP3 Windows 2003 SP2 Windows 7 32 Bit and 64 Bit Windows 2008 Server 64 Bit

Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.2

Migration to ROMeo 6.0.2

Thermo enhancements in upgraded versions of ROMeo application may cause flowsheet to produce open residuals after schema evolution migration. New thermo enhancements may also produce better thermo calculations. Solving and updating initial values for portions of migrated flowsheet may be required to improve flowsheet initialization prior to a flowsheet fully solved.

Moving Custom Reports to ROMeo 6.0.2

To open Custom Reports created in previous versions of ROMeo application, you must copy the User\Mra\ModelReportViews folder from the previously installed version of ROMeo application and paste it in the same subfolder path of the new installation.

Migrating Captive Historian Tags to ROMeo 6.0.2

You are required to export the Captive Historian configuration to a file before uninstalling the previous version. To import the configuration file, use the ROMeo 6.0.2 Captive Historian Admin Tool.

Migrating Databases to ROMeo 6.0.2

ROMeo\ARPM\MBM model application databases in v5.0x, v5.1x, v5.2x, v5.3x, v6.0 and v6.0.1 will automatically migrate (through schema evolution) upon opening in ROMeo 6.0.2. The Real-Time System sequence database in v5.0x, v5.1x, v5.2x, v5.3x, v6.0 and v6.0.1 will automatically migrate (through schema evolution) upon registration in ROMeo Real-Time System 6.0.2. Contact your SIMSCI representative for a migration path of ROMeo\ARPM systems prior to 5.0.

Starting with ROMeo 5.0, in order to migrate model application databases, you must perform a Save As after the migration to update the database with the imbedded thermo content that is required for future upgrade migration. Failing to save a copy after the schema migration will generate errors in subsequent database upgrades.
