Between version v1.8.x and version v3.0.0, the database structure, folder structures, data import process, and status calculation have all changed considerably.

Note
	Migration only has to be performed with existing systems. New customers can start immediately with version v3.x.x and do not have to perform a migration.

For existing systems, parallel operation of v1.8.x and v2.0.0 beta.x has been provided. In this parallel operation, all back end tasks are still performed by the ibaCMC v1.8.x version, but the new front end can already be used.

To enable a gradual changeover to version v3.0.0, there is a plant by plant migration process.

Once all plants have been migrated, the image and log migration can be performed.

Note
	We recommend that the migration process is supported by an iba employee. In case of questions, contact iba Support.
