&lt;td&gt;N/A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Background&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This article discusses how to migrate your V8i datasets and projects to the&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;CONNECT Edition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;V8i, the application relied on its own setup configuration which was stored in the setup.xml file to locate the dataset, connect to the project database, and specify various default settings. In&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;CONNECT Edition, however, this setup.xml is replaced by the native Power Platform configuration system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Power Platform is the MicroStation core application that underlies the&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;CONNECT Edition product.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;configuration variables have been introduced that can be set in any configuration file to achieve the same purposes that the setup.xml served in the V8i versions. See the &lt;a title="Configuration Variables" href="/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/41394/configuration-variables---bentley-substation-v10-03" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Configuration Variables&lt;/a&gt; article for a complete listing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, you may wish to review the &lt;a title="Configuration Files" href="/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/41394/configuration-variables---bentley-substation-v10-03" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Configuration Files&lt;/a&gt; article to learn where these variables can be set to configure the software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Dataset Migration&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In V8i, the dataset was stored in the Promise Data folder which included the following folders:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Catalogs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Config&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Databases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PageFormat&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sample Projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Templates&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;CONNECT Edition, these folders have been moved under a Workspace that corresponds to the electrical standard you wish to use which are found here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Substation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Substation ANSI-IEEE Example\Standards\Substation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Substation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Substation IEC Example\Standards\Substation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To migrate your V8i dataset to CONNECT and deploy that dataset to all users within your organization you should follow the instructions in the article: &lt;a href="/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/41397/deployment-guide---bentley-substation-connect-edition-v10-03" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Deployment Guide - Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Project Migration&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Important! Before migrating your projects from V8i to CONNECT Edition it is highly recommended that you make a backup of our V8i Project Database and the V8i project files.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To access your V8i projects in the CONNECT Edition you must perform the following tasks:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt; Configuration Assignment Utility&lt;/span&gt;, which can be accessed in the Project Manager, to assign a CONNECT configuration to your legacy V8i projects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Update your V8i project database schema to the CONNECT Edition Schema using one of the following methods:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A SQL Server&amp;nbsp;administrator can manually&amp;nbsp;execute the update script file provided with the software here:
&lt;p&gt;C:\Program Files\Bentley\Substation CONNECT Edition\Substation\Electrical\SqlScripts\SQL_UpdateDB.sql&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the Project Database Utility &amp;gt; Update Project Database tab to execute the Update Script file from within Bentley Substation. The utility is accessed from the Project Manager by selecting the &amp;quot;Configure Databases&amp;quot; button and selecting the &amp;quot;New Database&amp;quot; button.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
