Purpose
You need to upgrade the nworks SPI collector.
Solution
Note: Keep in mind that after upgrade historical data will be removed from the collector server. To keep the monitoring data available, you should gather it from the collector server before upgrade.

Install new nworksVIC.exe software with proper settings.
5.1. If you have not deleted CODA files manually, run hptool.exe located in the collector installation directory (the default installation directory is C:\Program files\nworks\VIC\Collector) and execute the Remove Schemas and Data command. -
Run hptool.exe located in the collector installation directory (the default installation directory is C:\Program files\nworks\VIC\Collector) and execute the Compile Specification files command.
