Back Up Customized Components

Before you upgrade, back up any changes made to the Web HMI menu and components in Application Assembler (ThingWorx).

  1. In Application Assembler, rename all new and customized Web HMI component content.
  2. Upgrade Web HMI, as explained in Upgrade Web HMI.
    An upgrade does not remove any mashups that you added.
  3. Optional: If you changed a component, such as a mashup, that was part of the Web HMI installation, you must rename it and incorporate it in to your own extension, and then import it, as explained in Import Extensions.
  4. Optional: If you modified the Web HMI menu to include links to custom mashups, you must recreate these links, as explained in Add Menu Items.
