We are upgrading our FTV ME v8.1 program to SE v12. Is there any way to migrate the alarm tags (about 600ish) from ME to SE. The import / export feature keeps throwing me errors. I assume it is a compatibility issue. Many thanks for your help.
 
The ME > SE alarm structure is completely different.

My advice would be, open your SE project, create 3-4 alarms manually, and export to excel. That will give you the format.

Then export your ME alarms to excel, and manually copy/paste/manipulate them into the required structure to be able to re-import them into the SE project.

The biggest catch is that in SE, it's not just a case of "this alarm has these parameters and this message". You have a list of alarms, and a list of messages. Then you have to match the alarms to the messages by number. It's unnecessarily complicated, IMO, but not insurmountable - once you have a working example (your exported SE file with a few alarms in it) you should be able to see what I mean and work it through.
