Before the Priva Digital Services can be used, the Top Control project metadata needs to be uploaded to the cloud.

For every graphical or functional modification in the project, the metadata needs to be uploaded again.

How to upload metadata for a TC 8 project (Priva Blue ID hardware)?

1. Make sure you have the required permissions in Access Control to upload metadata.
2. Make sure the TC 8 project is fully configured and commissioned as described in Configure TC 8 project for using Priva Digital Services.
3. Go to My Priva , download the TC Metadata Uploader and use this application to upload the metadata to the cloud from the PC on which the most recently released version of Top Control is installed (or at least the last supported version - see product life cycle document on the Support Portal ) and on which the project database is available (do not upload via a Remote Desktop connection or a virtual PC).

How to upload metadata for a TC 6 project (Compri HX hardware)?

1. Make sure you have the required permissions in Access Control to upload metadata.
2. Make sure the TC 6 project is fully configured and commissioned as described in Configure TC 6 project for using Priva Digital Services.
3. Install TC 8.7.6.0 or higher on the PC where the TC 6 project database is stored.
   The TC Metadata Uploader uses components of Top Control 8 to generate the metadata for TC 6 projects.
4. Go to My Priva , download the TC Metadata Uploader and use this application to upload the metadata to the cloud from the PC on which TC 8.7.6.0 or higher is installed and on which the TC 6 project database is available (do not upload via a Remote Desktop connection or a virtual PC).
   In the TC Metadata Uploader, you’ll be asked to select the type of project connection: Ethernet or serial. If you select Ethernet, you must then enter the controller number of the network manager. If there are two network managers in the project, enter the controller number of the network manager that manages all controllers in the project.

Note: After the upload, the metadata will be downloaded to the Edge Gateway. Make sure you wait long enough for the metadata to be downloaded before disconnecting the Edge Gateway from the Internet (for Building Operator Local).
