![]() ![]() The latest version that reliably worked for us was to go from 7.3.0 to 7.9.21. This errors out on the config.idb file, which would be expected as it didn’t exist prior to 7.7.7.įull disclosure Inductive Automation gives you instructions on upgrading from 7.9 to 8.0 or 8.1 so going directly from 7.3.0 to 8.1.19 would not be expected to work out of the box. To fully vet the system, we did a backup of a 7.3.0 gateway, installed 8.1.19, and did a restore. This is to be expected, going from a pre-7.7.7 version of Ignition with the old database format to a newer version with the updated format is going to cause some headaches. You will be asked to rename the service during the 8.1.19 installation, but it will give you an error when the installer tries to backup the existing gateway. running on our gateway here is a screenshot of the status page. Ignition has undergone many graphical revisions over the years, here are a couple of examples of the good old days from 7.3.0.

Since we’ve been using Ignition before it was even called Ignition we thought it would be interesting to go back to the earliest version on the Inductive Automation website and upgrade all the way through to the newest official release and share what we learn along the way. As we head into the virtual Ignition Community Conference this year, we thought it would be interesting to take the XPLORE part of the theme and look back on the history of Ignition. ![]()
