Perhaps if you described the most advanced block(s) (like PID, communications, etc.) and also what language(s) your portal and project are configured, we might be able to help. Sometimes the more advanced blocks require manual migration. Sometimes the language settings need to be set to a neutral language for portal and the project in order to migrate. Sometimes someone else can get the migration to work successfully. One way to perform the migration is to make up little projects from pieces of your original project. Convert them a piece at a time until you get your project recreated. That said, if you remove the advanced functions from your project (PIDs, TCP, SEND/RCV PTP), then try the migration, you might be able to get a success without having to break your project apart. Maybe in the next Portal update the migrations will be better. |

In my project I am using Send Recv Blocks. I hope thats the reason.And i am only using Ladder Logic, not FBD. So from the above reply it seems like I am not able to migrate this particular project from from TIA V 10.5 to TIA V 11. Thanks for you reply. Thanks |

Dear soju, What I suggest is find the send and recv blocks in your ladder logic. Select them, click delete on just those 2 blocks. Then try the migration (save that project as a new project, maybe named, "myproject_migrate".a10). If it still fails, it may be something else like the language settings. If you have the default project and portal language settings in V11 as english or deutsch, it might migrate better. After the migration succeeds, you put your send/receive blocks back, set the language support, and compile all (rebuild all blocks). Please give it a try as it should get most of your logic migrated. |

Problem is that I dont have V10.5 in my PC right now and I cannot install also. Long back I done this project and now upgraded my system and its running on Windows_7 and TIA V 10.5 doesn't support windows 7 I will check what you had adviced and will let you know. Thanks for your quick reply Thanks, Soju |

I use windows 7-64bit. I have on my laptop all versions of the software installed in various xp mode virtual PCs. I created the V10.5 SP2 Virtual PC, then cloned that and performed the upgrade to V11 on the cloned machine. Then when V11 SP1 came out, I cloned V11 to V11 SP1 virtual machine, and now I use V11 SP2 virtual machine as well. It is not ideal, but it allows me to support existing (running deployed) projects in the version of portal used to create the project originally. I can only run one virtual machine at a time due to the memory requirements for portal. If I try to run two, I get insufficient memory errors. If I set the virtual pc memory less than 3 GB, it runs out of memory or runs slowly or crashes. At 3.3GB, it seems to run just fine. With that setting, I do not have any memory left over for windows 7 if I try to run a 2nd virtual machine. This might not work for you, but since you still have the 10.5 install dvd, you could do the same thing and try your migration. If not, you might be able to upload your project here and someone may be able to convert it. You might be able to email it to your local Siemens applications engineer for help with the migration as well. |
