Data Center Operation Lab in IT Advisor

MateFekete · ‎2020-05-17

Hello,

I recently upgraded from DCO 8.3.2 to IT Advisor 9.0.7. Where can I find the @Lab in ITA?

Thanks.

Hello Mate, Sorry about the delayed response.

The Lab client is not offered with IT Advisor which is why you cannot find the client for download.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the information. Can you share with me that document/release note which describes all the changes regarding DCO vs ITA? I assume Insight module also went away in ITA.

Hello Mate.

I would start with this page in regards to the differences between DCO and ITA.

https://helpcenter.ecostruxureit.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006367378-Upgrading-from-DCO-to-ITA

then I would recommend checking the ITA release notes as it describes the differences between ITA releases.

Is there any other way in ITA to see how some changes affect in some kind of test environment?

Hi Eitan,

You can run your tests on a test server, eg.
1- install ITA on a dedicated test server
2- and then restore a backup file (from your production setup)

On this test server you can run your tests including product upgrade tests, which may be the highly recommend approach.

Kind regards,

Jef
