Section 1 Release Notes
Introduction
This document represents the release notes for the Industrial IT™, 800xA - System,
800xA for Harmony, System Version 5.0 SP1 software.
This document provides a brief overview on functionality. It lists the problems that
existed in the previous version or service pack that were fixed and corrected in this
release. It also enumerates known problems encountered in the final testing of this
product release and identifies workarounds that help overcome the problem. The
document contains additional notes that may be valuable to customers and service
personnel working with the product. It replaces the existing release notes for the
prior release and is included on the product CD.
Fixed and Known Problems are divided into functional categories:
• Installation.
• Administration.
• Configuration.
• Operational.
• Instruction Manual Changes.
• Miscellaneous.
Functionality Changes
• Enhanced Operator Action Event Format. Tuning operations performed
using the Block Details utility may now be logged to the historical event log
using an enhanced format. The enhanced format provides additional
information on the item that was changed, how it was changed, and the user
that made the change. The use of the enhanced format is optional and may be
configured via a setting on the Configuration aspect of the Harmony Server

object. Refer to the Industrial IT, 800xA - System, 800xA for Harmony,
Configuration (3BUA000157Rxxxx) instruction for more information.
• Increased Number of Connectivity and Harmony Configuration Servers.
The number of Connectivity and Harmony Configuration Servers has increased
to support up to eight nonredundant or eight redundant. These Servers are
supported by either a single Harmony Configuration Server or up to four
Harmony Configuration Servers.
• Harmony Executive Service. This is an 800xA service that controls
underlying 800xA for Harmony services. Once configured, it requires no user
interaction. Refer to the Industrial IT, 800xA - System, Post Installation
(3BUA000156Rxxxx) for details on configuration.
Composer
Composer engineering workstation supports configuring and editing the project tag
database and associated lists for 800xA for Harmony (tag database, engineering
units, alarm comments, and logic state descriptors). These Composer based files are
directly usable in 800xA for Harmony for the 800xA System. The following can be
configured in the Composer project: area, unit, and equipment structures (these will
be maintained in the Functional Structure of 800xA System). Other Composer
console data such as Historian servers, group and trend displays are not usable in
800xA for Harmony for the 800xA System.
It is recommended that Composer be installed on a separate workstation.

Section 2 Upgrade and Update
Introduction
Special considerations must be applied when upgrading 800xA for Harmony from
SV3.1 SP2 to SV5.0 SP1, SV4.1 to SV5.0 SP1, and when updating 800xA for
Harmony from SV5.0 to SV5.0 SP1.
The term upgrade refers to moving from one 800xA release to a later 800xA
release, whether it be a major or minor release.
The term update refers to adding service packs, patches, hot fixes, or rollups to an
existing 800xA System.
Upgrading from SV3.1 SP2 to SV5.0 SP1 is a two step process as follows:
1. Upgrade 800xA for Harmony from SV 3.1 SP2 to SV 5.0 by performing the
procedures as described in Industrial IT, 800xA - System, Upgrade SV5.0
(3BSE036342R5001).
Refer to the Industrial IT, 800xA - System, 800xA for Harmony, Release Notes,
SV5.0 (3BUA000112R5001) for additional upgrade information.
2. Update 800xA for Harmony SV5.0 to SV5.0 SP1 by performing the procedures
described in SV5.0 to SV5.0 SP1 Update of this instruction.

800xA, Upgrade (3BSE036342Rxxxx) and Industrial IT, System - 800xA,
Automated Installation (3BSE034679Rxxxx) instructions.
The update is a node-by-node procedure that must been performed in the following
node order:
• Clients.
• Aspect Servers.
Perform on the redundant Aspect Server nodes first and then the primary Aspect
Server nodes.
• Configuration Servers.
• Combined Configuration and Connectivity Servers.
• Connectivity Servers.
• Application Servers.
Procedure
Perform the procedure as follows:
1. Create a backup so that the system can be restored to its original state if
necessary. Refer to Backups in the Industrial IT, System - 800xA, Upgrade
(3BSE036342Rxxxx) instruction for more information.
2. Some 800xA System software requires preparatory steps before shutting down
800xA System processes. Perform the applicable procedures in Preparing the
Node in the Industrial IT, System - 800xA, Upgrade (3BSE036342Rxxxx)
instruction.

Configuration Server checkboxes (Figure 1).
4. Complete the installation following the procedures outlined in the Industrial IT,
System - 800xA, Automated Installation (3BSE034679Rxxxx) instruction.
5. Reboot.
For 800xA for Harmony Client type nodes, continue to Step 8.
6. Windows services related to the 800xA System must be stopped on each server
to be updated. Perform the procedures in Stopping 800xA System Processes in
the Industrial IT, System - 800xA, Upgrade (3BSE036342Rxxxx) instruction.

Primary Connectivity Server node name, and <Connectivity Server> with the
800xA for Harmony Connectivity Server node name in the above example.
The <PrimaryConnectivityServer> and <ConnectivityServer> will be
the same in the case of a 800xA for Harmony Primary Connectivity Server and
they will differ in the case of a secondary server.
The following example shows the Server tags for a system with two 800xA for
Harmony ConfigServers, both with redundant 800xA for Harmony Servers:
The first 800xA for Harmony ConfigServer is named Cfg1. Cfg1 has two 800xA for
Harmony Connectivity Servers associated with it. The primary server is named
Conn1 and the secondary server is named Conn2.
The second 800xA for Harmony ConfigServer is named Cfg2. Cfg2 has two 800xA
for Harmony Connectivity Servers associated with it. The primary server is named
Conn3 and the secondary server is named Conn4.
The proper paths for the example are as follows:
CFGSRV-Cfg1/GRP-Conn1/Conn1/Harmony-Server
CFGSRV-Cfg1/GRP-Conn1/Conn1/ClientEvent-Concentrator
CFGSRV-Cfg1/GRP-Conn1/Conn1/LocalEvent-Concentrator
