How to migrate from Event Parameter to Event Operator mode

Event operator mode replaces the event parameter mode for managing events. New installations will use Event Operator mode by default. Upgraded systems must enable the mode. To enable Event Operator mode and transfer existing event parameters to triggered alarm notifications complete the following steps:

1 - Log into the EntraPass server or workstation application.

2 - Click on Options, then System Parameters.

3 - Click on the Server icon.

4 - Click on the Alarm Management tab.

5 - Select Migrate from Event Parameters to Event Operator.

6 - Select OK to begin the migration.

7 - Select OK to confirm the operation. To ensure safety, an automatic backup is performed and the database is set to locked.

8 - During migration, events are displayed in the operator's default desktop.

•  If the Override workstation workspace message option is selected, events are displayed in the workspace defined in the Security tab.

•  If the Override workstation workspace message option is not selected, events are displayed in the default desktop.

○  If the operator has never logged into workstation or the operators last login was not in workstation, the operator will get all events

○  If the operator's last login was in workstation and Apply Workstation workspace and event parameters option is selected , the operator will get events in the workspace defined in When Logged In option and from the schedule defined in Event Parameters from that workstation.

○   If the operator's last login was in workstation and Apply Workstation workspace and event parameters option is not selected, the operator will get events with the display schedule defined in Event Parameters from that workstation.

9 - Existing Event Parameters are merged into single Triggers and Alarms based on their type (Application, Door, Input, etc), their alarm schedule, and their instruction. Task Builder tasks defined through Event Parameters are also migrated.

10 - The alarm management model is transferred to each Trigger and Alarm. Compatible and Event Priority modes are transferred to Acknowledge for all connected workstations.

11 - Following migration, all active workstations must be logged out and logged in to view the changes.

NOTE: The migration from Event Parameter mode to Event Operator mode cannot be reversed.
