Good news! We (actually Eric) found a way to export your project from version 2.1 (the previous Free Designer) into version 2.5. For users of version 2.4 (previous version of the Professional Designer), you can safely upgrade and login with you existing account in version 2.5.
The migration server might cause issues for some accounts and/or some protocols are missing in 2.5. Please report any issues, so we can look into it, but no guarantees. Depending on amount of requests and required effort we will try and solve any issues.
To allow users to migrate their design from the 2.1 designer to the new 2.5 one, we did set-up a migration server: https://designer-migration.openremote.com
This server contains a backup of the 2.1 database as of June 23rd.
Users can log in using their 2.1 designer username and password and download an export of their configuration.
This configuration can then be imported into a 2.5 account on https://designer.openremote.com. Note that an import will completely replace the existing configuration.
Please only use this migration server for exporting your configuration and don’t do any design work on it.
This server is only temporary and will be eventually shutdown depending on the migration needs.
Data on this server might also be replaced with the same or another backup depending on the needs.
In that case, we will post appropriate information in this thread. Known issues
Due to a previous bug in the 2.1 designer, we have occasionally observed an error (error 500) when doing the export.
If this is the case, please report the issue indicating your username, re-trying the download does not fix the issue.
Some protocols that are present in 2.1 are not available in 2.5.
In that case, your configuration might not import correctly or you will not be able to modify any of the commands for those protocols.
If this is the case, please report which protocol is causing an issue for you.
We do not promise to include all the missing protocols but will evaluate based on the received feedback.
If you have tried the migration server to migrate from 2.1 to 2.5 (see post by Eric) and have NOT faced any issues, we appreciate if you can share that with us as well. We are aware of the error 500 issue, while using the migration server, but we want to get a better picture on how frequent this issue arises. So please keep posting issues you are facing but definitely share with us if the migration worked for you.
Hi,
Trying to migrate my project from 2.1 designer to Pro and this is what I have done so far
1) I logged into 2.1 designer and exported my project (user franksylvia)
2) I logged into the migration website and noticed that it wasn't up to date so I imported the export zip from designer 2.1 but received the following error...

H,
Just trying to figure out the correct process here.. we seem to be getting very little from OR on this one.. not even sure if all the issues reported above have been fixed...
I have a 2.3 project.. (it has been modified quite a bit since june 23rd since the blanket copy was completed by Eric)
Could somebody confirm if my understanding is correct..
Step 1) I export from the free designer (lets call this zip1)
Step 2) I import this zip1 into the 'migration designer'
Step 3) I check all is okay and export that zip (lets call this zip2)
Step 4) I then import this zip2 into the pro designer.
assuming all works and I get no errors I am complete
Is this the right process or have I all mixed up...
If I get an issue I email support at openremote dot org
My impression was to log into the migration server with the old credentials. The design should already be there (mine is… though I get 500 error sometimes). Export the zip file (which I can’t do) and then import it into the 2.5 designer.
Maybe my design to too large to export… dunno. I have tried a few times…no luck
Some, like me have their own standalone Designer installation of 2.1.
Is there way to import this into the 2.5 Designer or into a standalone installation of 2.5?
Is there somewhere a version of the “Migration Server” one can compile and run it as standalone server to produce a zip file that can be imported into 2.5?
I would also like to know how we can get hold of an up to date Migration Server for standalone use - or how to load my old version 2.1 project in to the migration server so as to be able to export it for version 2.5
Currently if I try to import my old project into the migration site i get a load of errors and it doesnt work and the version on the migration box is way out of date and useless to me.
