We recommend using the Offline Project functionality for the Import and Export of As-Built and Projects. The Offline Project allows for the import and export across different versions of Smart Instrumentation, different versions of Oracle and SQL, and between SQL to Oracle and Oracle to SQL. For more information see Offline Project and Exporting and Importing a Project.

The Merger Utility provides you with the means of transferring a selected plant hierarchy item (for example, domain, plant, and so forth) from a source domain to the same type of plant hierarchy item in an existing target domain. The source and target domains can be a part of the same database or part of different databases. You can also merge source and target plant hierarchy items within the same domain.

You run the Merger Utility in any of the following scenarios:

  • You need to transfer all the data from a source domain to a target domain.

  • You need to transfer all the data from a source plant hierarchy item to a target plant hierarchy item at the same level.

  • Only the Domain Administrator has access to the Merger Utility.

  • The source and target domains must be of the same Smart Instrumentation version. If they are not the same version, you must upgrade the domain that belongs to the earlier version.

  • The Merger Utility only supports domains of type Engineering company when merging plant data. For configuration data, the Merger Utility supports engineering company and owner operator domains.

The Merger Utility changes the contents of your target database. Therefore, we recommend that you backup your target database before proceeding with the merge process.
