Can you be specific about which version of Thingworx / SCPA you are migrating from and to?  The tools are different depending on the upgrade path.

To upgrade to a new version of SCPA, follow these steps:

1. Export Existing Entities:
   Export all entities created with the current configuration.

2. Import and Update Configuration:
   Import the configuration into the new version.

   • Review and update any changes needed, as module names may differ in the new version.
   • New modules might also be added to streamline tasks.

3. Test the Platform:
   Verify that the platform functions as expected.

   • If you encounter issues, check for missing configurations related to the affected entities or things and fix them accordingly.

4. Complete the Upgrade:
   Once everything is working as expected, the upgrade is complete.
