operating systems as of Windows 7/Windows Server 2008.
● The automation system can remain in the RUN state during a software update without
utilization of new functions. The process can be continued. Program changes can be
downloaded during operation. Functions which require a new library version (for example,
SIMATIC Route Control) require a STOP of the automation system.
● The manual contains some sections that are not listed in the overview. Observe the
information provided in these sections when updating the software and check whether this
information is relevant to your PCS 7 system.
● You do not need any new hardware or firmware for your automation system.
● You want to perform the software update without a great deal of configuration effort.
● The process can always be operator-controlled and monitored, if you use redundant OS
servers and update the software accordingly.
You can find more information about this in the manual
Process Control System PCS 7;
Fault-tolerant Process Control Systems
> Guide to Updating a Redundant OS During
Operation.
● The software update of password-protected projects requires SIMATIC Logon on an ES.
● For projects with activated FDA access protection for WinCC tag export, you have to open
the WinCC project in SIMATIC Manager beforehand.

Introduction
If archive data is to be available after the software update, you must perform the steps listed
below.
Note
The steps in this section apply only if one of the following servers is used for archiving in the
PCS 7 project:
● Central archive server
● StoragePlus server (only recommended for smaller systems)
Preparation time
Start with the preparations for updating the Central Archive Server or StoragePlus Server
before you start updating the PCS 7 project.
The amount of time you have for updating the archive server is the amount of time in which
archive data can be stored in the short-term archive on the OS servers. The time will depend
on the following system-specific features:
● Available memory for the short-term archive of the OS server
● Scope defined for the short-term archive of the OS server
● Available memory for page files

4.1.2 How to determine the configuration data on the Archive Server
Introduction
You need this information when you reinstall the archive server and do not wish to make any
configuration changes.
Requirement
Before you run the software update, perform these steps directly on the archive server (Central
Archive Server (CAS), or StoragePlus Server).
Determining the database name, database path and archive share name
1. Use Windows Explorer to search for the "C:\Program Files\SIEMENS\StoragePlus
\Common" folder.
– When you have found the folder, look for the "StoragePlus.config" file in the detail view.
Continue editing with Step 6.
– If you do not find the folder, perform the following steps.
2. In Windows Explorer, click "Search".
3. In the "Find the Following Files and Folders:" input box:" enter the "StoragePlus.config"
configuration file.
4. In the "Search in" drop-down list: select the "Local hard drives (...)" setting.
5. Click "Find Now".
The "StoragePlus.config" configuration file is searched for.
In the case of a standard installation, the configuration file will be located in folder "C:
\Program Files\SIEMENS\StoragePlus\Common".
6. Select the "StoragePlus.config" file from the list.
7. In the shortcut menu, select the menu command Open with > Notepad.
8. Search the entries for the following configuration information:
– Database (<Database> "name of the database" <Database>)
– DatabasePath (<Database> "path of the database" <Database>)
– Logpath (<Logpath> " path of the data log" <Logpath>)
– ArchivePath (<ArchivePath> "directory of the archive" <ArchivePath>)
9. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click the "Administrative Tools" icon and then
"Computer Management".
