Manually generate and send the DeltaV System Registration file

Use this procedure to manually generate and send the DeltaV System Registration file.

  1. Log into the ProfessionalPLUS computer as an administrator (when in a domain, log in as a domain administrator).
  2. Open Start → DeltaV → DeltaV Installation → DeltaV System Registration.
  3. Proceed through the application, completing all required contact fields, supplying required serial numbers, adding both DeltaV and non-DeltaV nodes from which you want to collect data.

    Use the Next button to proceed to the next page. The Back button takes you back to the previous page.

  4. On the System Registration Automatic Run Settings page, set the information as needed for the frequency you want to collect the data and the location of the unsent files.
    The file that is generated is SysRegData.epm
  5. On the Send Data page, click the Send Data button.
  6. If the ProfessionalPLUS requires a proxy server, complete the Proxy Server information and click the Use Proxy Entered button. Otherwise, click the No Proxy Required button.

    When a proxy server is required, enter its IP Address and append it with http ports 80 or 8080, or https 443.

    Specifying the DNS name of the proxy server instead of the IP address should also work, provided that there is an available DNS server that will resolve the DNS name to the correct IP address. If there is no DNS server available, manually adding the DNS name and the IP address in the machine host file is another option. A good way to test this is to issue a ping command using the DNS name and see if replies from the matching IP address would be received.

    If the DeltaV System Registration utility fails to contact the Emerson server using the Internet, the utility presents the options to either Email Data or Save To File.

    • Email Data - To send the registration file using email through the DeltaV System Registration utility, fill in the IP address of the email server and a valid email address. If the currently logged on user does not have the privilege to access the email server, an SMTP authentication name and password will be required. After filling in the details, click Email Data.
    • Save to File - If you cannot use either the email or internet options to send the data, click the Save to File button.

      Provide a directory to save the SysRegData.epm file. For systems that have been set up to automatically generate the registration file, the file is saved in the specified directory.

      You can then manually deliver the file to Emerson by emailing it to emailregistrationsystems@emerson.com or by uploading it to the DeltaV product registration web page at http://www3.emersonprocess.com/systems/support/registration. For current subscribers, you can also use the System Profile tile in the Guardian web page to upload the latest SysRegData.epm file.

  7. Click Finish at the end of the utility (after the file has been sent or saved).
