Backup and Migration of the Secured Area

Introduction

With the release of 2100 Expert Software B.02.09, the upgrade and migration

process of the Secured Area has slightly changed compared to previous software

versions. This document provides an overview on how to perform a successful

software upgrade to a higher version. In addition, detailed information are

provided for backup and migration of the Secured Area content on the same PC

or between different PCs.

This includes the migration of:

Existing Methods and Workflows

Existing Data

Security Pack users and their appropriate roles

Please note that there are differences for the backup process comparing

2100 Expert Version B.02.08 and B.02.09.

NOTE--- After the migration is completed Agilent recommends performing an IQ-service.

Performing the Installation Verification from the Validation context can be an

alternative approach, if this fulfills your internal software update policy.

Please be aware and consider before performing the Secured Area migration.

About the tool The ExtractUsersAndRoles.exe is an external tool designed to assist the

2100 Expert B.02.08 - Successful backup of the Secured Area and uninstallation

Initial preparation

It is highly recommended to create a general backup of your system and data

before proceeding.

Before the update or migration can start, you need to perform the following tasks

while logged on to Windows as an Administrator:

Archive your existing method and data files, using the feature within the 2100

Expert Software (restricted to users with either the Administrator or Backup

operator roles).

Clarify how the current generic 2100System account is setup (local or

network/domain). It is important to note the user name if you are working

within a company network/domain.

Uninstall only the 2100 Expert Software from the current PC using the standard

operating system process depending on your Microsoft Windows version.

Using an Administrator user account, copy the ExtractUsersAndRoles.exe to

the <\System> directory of the Secured Area.

Creating the Secured Area backup directory

1 Execute the ExtractUsersAndRoles.exe tool while logged on to Windows as

an Administrator.

2 The UsersAndRoles.xml file will be created in the <\System> directory of the

Secured Area. (This will fail if you did not uninstall the 2100 Expert Software).

3 Uninstall the 2100 Expert Secured Area from the current PC using the standard

Windows process.

4 The remaining Secured Area directory can now be used as your backup

directory. Copy the complete <\Secured Area> directory to the desktop, or an

external backup drive.

For Windows 7 the Secured Area can typically be found at:

C:\Program files (x86)\Agilent\2100 bioanalyzer\2100 expert\Secured Area.

2100 Expert B.02.09 - Backup of the Secured Area during uninstallation

It is highly recommended to create a general backup of your system and data

before proceeding.

Before the migration can start, you need to perform the following tasks while

logged on to Windows as an Administrator:

Clarify how the current generic 2100System account is set-up (local or

network/domain). It is important to note the user name if you are working

within a company network/domain.

Uninstall only the 2100 Expert Software from the current PC using the standard

operating system process depending on your Microsoft Windows version.

A backup will be created automatically in the root directory of your previous

installation. The default path would be C:\SecuredArea.bak.

The backup folder contains all information required for the migration to a different

PC. You can copy it to an external hard drive to use it during upcoming

installations. The external tool is not required for version B.02.09 or higher.

NOTE--- If you want to install 2100 Expert with Security Pack on a new PC from an existing

backup without uninstallation on your current PC, make sure that your backup contains

the Users & Roles information that was generated with the external tool for the

previous software revision B.02.08. In case you have any doubts, contact your Agilent

Support Team for clarification upfront.

Migrating on the same PC

The following section describes the standard Secured Area migration on the

same PC (in case of a software upgrade).

Important:

If you want to upgrade from 2100 Expert Software B.02.08 to B.02.09, you need

to use the external tool and completely uninstall the software as described in the

section 2100 Expert B.02.08 - Successful backup of the Secured Area and

uninstallation. Then follow the instructions for migration between PCs in the

next chapter.

When installing the same 2100 Expert Software version on the same PC, the

external tool is not required. This also applies to an upgrade from B.02.08 to

B.02.08 (SR1, SR2 or SR3).

1 Install the 2100 Expert Software and follow the on-screen instructions.

2 If upgrading to a higher version of the 2100 Expert Software, the launcher

recognizes the upgrade. Specific system settings as well as files need to be

migrated from the old version. Click Yes to start the migration process (No

would cancel the software launch).

Expert Software.

Migration between different PCs

For the migration process between PCs, you first need to create a backup of

your Secured Area as described in the previous chapters for 2100 Expert B.02.08

and B.02.09.

1 Install the 2100 Expert Software (version B.02.09 or higher) on the new PC.

2 Enter all the licenses including the Security Pack license and start the Security

Pack setup.

3 Please use the same account names for the generic 2100System account

and the initial administrator account as used on the previous PC or for your

previous 2100 Expert installation.

4 A new Secured Area is prepared on the PC in the default location

(this can take a couple of minutes).

Migration from the backup of the previous Secured Area

5 When prompted for the migration of the Secured Area, check the Migrate

Security Pack box and select the directory of your Secured Area backup.

6 Specify the initial 2100 Expert administrator user account. You can create a new

local Windows administrator account or choose an existing account from a

domain.

7 Finish the Security Pack setup following the on-screen instructions.

(When upgrading from B.02.08 to B.02.09, a previous Security Pack installation

might be detected and you must confirm migration of system files).

8 Eventually, restore your files by de-archiving via the 2100 Expert Software.

General Notes on Migration of the Secured Area between PCs

NOTE--- For domain accounts, the users are automatically migrated and do not need to be set up

in the Security Pack software again. For local accounts the migrated accounts can only

be used as a reference for previously acquired data. The users need to be set up on the

PC and in the Security Pack software again.

NOTE--- The data and methods from a previous PC can be opened for review on the new PC.

However, for local user accounts, they can no longer be edited and old methods cannot

be used unless imported by a new local user, who will become the new owner of the

method.

In the System context tab named Users and Roles, the old users will be greyed out. This means

they were migrated to the new PC without functionality. When trying to enable the user, there will be a

prompt for the users logon credentials (i.e. user ID that was used on the old PC).

*G2938-90161* Part Number: G2938-90161 Agilent Technologies, Inc. 2013, 2017 *G2938-90161* G2938-90161 Rev.A Edition 04/17 Agilent Technologies

Printed in Germany Hewlett-Packard-Strasse 8 76337 Waldbronn, Germany

If a migrated method which was created by a local account is opened, the method owner will be

changed to unknown as the local users from the old PC are unknown to the 2100 Expert Software

installation on the new PC.

NOTE--- Important information: If the ExtractUsersAndRoles.exe is executed again on the

new PC where the data was migrated to, it will overwrite any user information from

the old PC and create a new UsersAndRoles.xml with the current user information.
