The Create Process
• Identify the machines on the plant network that may have Wonderware software installed
– Identification of machines can be done in 3 ways:
•Manually enter machine information directly in SAM client
•Import machine information already documented in an existing spreadsheet
•Utilize SAM discovery function
• The SAM agent is automatically installed on identified machines
• Identify the machines on the plant network that may have Wonderware software installed
– Identification of machines can be done in 3 ways:
•Manually enter machine information directly in SAM client
•Import machine information already documented in an existing spreadsheet
•Utilize SAM discovery function
• The SAM agent is automatically installed on identified machines
• Detects Wonderware software and licenses on the SAM network
• License and software details are reported via SAM client
– License Information can be exported to the Excel spreadsheet
• Can be routinely updated by a touch of a button as new licenses are purchased
The Detect Process
• Detects Wonderware software and licenses on the SAM network
• License and software details are reported via SAM client
– License Information can be exported to the Excel spreadsheet
• Can be routinely updated by a touch of a button as new licenses are
purchased
The Assess Process
• Highlights the difference
between what is installed and what is currently available from Wonderware
– Quickly identifies discrepancies between installed software and currently available versions – Identifies opportunities to
upgrade

The Acquire Process
• Conveniently download relevant patches and updates from Wonderware
– Eliminates the need to search for updates and patches
Patches and Updates are now in your environment Patches and Updates are now in your environment
• Conveniently download relevant patches and updates from Wonderware
– Eliminates the need to search for updates and patches
The Deploy Process
• Pushes out patches and updates to computers that need to be upgraded
– Streamlines the process to patch and upgrade software – Facilitates standard upgrade procedures for the plant
• User still required to upgrade individual computers
Patches and updates are deployed on target machines Patches and updates are deployed on target machines
