When Application Server has been installed/upgraded to System Platform 2017, and the ArchestrA Network User account is a local user (not a domain account), an OPCClient object cannot read from a DA Server on a remote node running Windows Server 2008 SP2. This issue is confined to environments where a DA Server is running under the Local System Account on a Windows Server operating systems prior to the 2008 R2 release. Windows Server 2008 R2 and later are not affected by the issue. Workarounds: If networking is via a Windows workgroup, the only workaround you can use is to enable everyone permissions for anonymous users.
If networking is domain-based, you have a choice of two workarounds. First option (domain-based networking only):
Second option (domain-based networking only): On the DA Server node, specify that the DAServer process runs as a domain user account.

On some monitors, the ArchestrA IDE shortcut menus are displayed partially off-screen, making them difficult to read or make a selection. Workaround: This workaround is documented on a Microsoft Community forum and is summarized below: (see Note: This workaround is applicable to all supported Windows and Windows Server operating systems.

Warning messages appear in the SMC log file when migrating an application created with Wonderware System Platform R2 SP1 to System Platform 2017. These messages are in response to symbol functionality present in the application created with Wonderware System Platform R2 SP1 that is not available with a System Platform 2017 ViewApp. |

Under certain circumstances, when migrating a CAB file from an older galaxy that contains ArchestrA Graphics and utilizes the Historical Trend control to System Platform 2017, the migration may stall at some point and fail to complete. No error message will be displayed. Workarounds: The workaround varies, depending on the System Platform version that you are migrating to WSP 2017: Migrating from WSP 2014 or WSP 2014 P01: Copy the following HistorianClient-2014 binaries from C:\Program Files (x86)\ Common Files\ArchestrA to Note: If the same computer is upgraded to WSP 2017, the 2014 binaries can be taken from the WSP 2014 installation CD.
Migrating from WSP 2014 R2:
Migrating from WSP 2014 R2 P01 or WSP 2014 R2 SP1: You can directly migrate these CAB files to WSP 2017. No intermediate steps or actions are needed. Migrating through intermediate versions to WSP 2017: If you migrate CAB file to a version lower than WSP 2017, and then migrate the CAB file to WSP 2017, you must re-import the Historian Client controls in the intermediate version, before you migrate the CAB file to WSP 2017. See the following two examples: Example 1: CAB file migration path: 2014 or 2014 P01 > 2014 R2 > 2017:
Example 2: CAB file migration path: 2014 R2 > 2014 R2 SP1 > 2017:
Migrate the CAB file to WSP 2017. |

While installing the Application Object Toolkit (AOT), under certain conditions during the “Updating the system” step, the following error may be displayed by Visual Studio: “The Add-in ‘AOT Editor’ failed to load or caused an exception. Error number: 80131604.” Workaround:

The object name extension "_New" cannot be used if another object in the Galaxy uses the same name without the "_New" extension. For example, if you have an object named "Pump," you cannot have a second object named "Pump_New." You could, however, use "Pump_Old" and "Pump_New." Note that this restriction applies to templates as well as instances. For example, you cannot have a derived template named "$Area_New" or "$ViewApp_New" since these add the "_New" extension to a base template name. |
