One of the major differences between ecFlowUI version 4 and 5 is that they can only interact with servers of the same major version. As a side effect if you start up ecFlowUI version 5 you will not be able to interact with any of your version 4 servers and vice versa.

As a temporary solution, for the migration period between version 4 and 5, we recommend to use the -confd command line option. With this option you can define a  custom configuration directory for ecFlowUI and can keep the version 4 and 5 servers separated.

This is one possible way of how it could be used:

  • start version 4 with
ecflow_ui

this will use the default configuration directory in ${HOME}/.ecflow_ui

  • start version 5  with
ecflow_ui -confd path_to_your_version5_config_dir

this will use the specified configuration directory (for the first time it will be completely empty so no servers will be visible in ecFlowUI)
