Register custom VIPs
If the old IONESPMPME system contained custom VIPs, then you need to register them in the new system before they can be used. The configuration folders and files for these VIPs were transferred as part of the \config folder transfer.
Distributed System Note: Complete the following steps on the Application Server.
To determine if there are custom VIPs:
- Navigate to
…\Schneider Electric\Power Monitoring Expert\config\cfg\vipIf there are custom VIPs in this folder, they need to be registered on the new system.
To register custom VIPs:
- Open a command prompt as the Administrator.
- Change to the
…\Schneider Electric\Power Monitoring Expert\system\binfolder.
- Run
vip.exe –Service –N<custom VIP name>.The new service is added for the custom VIP.

Note: The VIP name service registration is case sensitive; make sure you spell it exactly as it was in the old IONESPMPME system.
