Compare and Update in TTY Mode

TTY mode enables you to perform certain operations outside the graphical user interface (GUI). TTY mode is faster than GUI mode and so is generally used for bulk operations.

A prerequisite for using Compare & Update in TTY mode is that there must be one or more Compare & Update configurations in Engineering. These can only be created in GUI mode.

How you enter TTY mode depends on your software version.

Open TTY mode in Unified Engineering

Open a command prompt as Administrator and enter:

ue /help

Enter ue --module:Engineering --Project:APS --Username:SYSTEM --Password:XXXXXX --mdb:ALL -tty

Open TTY mode in AVEVA Engineering

In the command window, open the application's installation path.

Enter engineering.bat TTY APS SYSTEM/XXXXXX/ALL

Enter tags

Note:
Before you can use compare.update in TTY mode, the relevant configurations for the required sources must be created in GUI mode.

Examples

This example performs compare and update from a Schematic source (Dabacon source)

This example performs compare and update from a PID source (Non-Dabacon source)

This example performs compare and update from an ERM source (implemented in AVEVA Engineering 15.7.3.1 onwards)
