Hey all,

I’m trying to upgrade my FPMI project as per the ignition upgrade guide. When I try to use my FPMI gateway backup, it seems like it works, but the ignition page continues to say ‘Processing’ with the spinning progress thing. The output is included below.

`Starting [createTempDir] ... C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\legacyfpmi3446529947651237183conv (0 ms)
Starting [extractBackup] ... done. (468 ms)
Starting [verifyBackup] ... Found backup from version 3.3.2 (b2754) (0 ms)
Starting [openDatabase] ... done. (1 seconds)
Starting [upgradeDatabase] ... DB found at v.38 (500 ms)
Starting [importSystemSettings] ... done. (0 ms)
Starting [importImages] ... done. (31 ms)
Starting [importAuthProfiles] ... done. (0 ms)
Starting [importDatasources] ... done. (0 ms)
Starting [importProjects] ... Imported projects: [IADemo, PMCS] (0 ms)
Starting [cleanup] ... done. (1 seconds)
Finished.`

It looks like ignition is happy with the upgrade, but it constantly says ‘Processing’ afterwards. If I look around ignition after the upgrade, there is no sign it completed (no projects, connections, etc).

Thanks in advance

Once that part completes the loading symbol turns into a link to go the next stage. Is that not happening? You can upload your backup to [inductiveautomation.com/uploads](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/uploads) and we can take a look at it.

I see. No, the continue link stays disabled. I’ve uploaded my fpgb file under the name chache.

Thanks again

What version of Ignition do you have? I have version 7.1.6 and the upgrade worked. If you don’t have that version please upgrade by downloading the latest from the downloads section.

Interesting.  
I have 7.1.6 b5739. I’m running it alongside the old FPMI if that makes a difference, although I don’t see how they could affect each other.

Ah… after restarting the system it worked like a charm. I didn’t restart after installing it (I don’t recall it being suggested) but that fixed it. I guess it’s always a good idea to restart after installing something.  
Thanks for your help!
