Compare and update data 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 is generally used for bulk operations.

Prerequisites for using Compare and Update in TTY mode:

Before you use the Compare and Update feature in TTY mode, complete the following setup steps:

• Create the required configurations for Dabacon or Non-Dabacon data sources in GUI mode. For instructions, see Manage Configurations and Groups.

• For Non-Dabacon data sources, create a User Defined Attribute (UDA) in the AVEVA Administration Lexicon module. If a UDA is not defined, an error message prompts you to create one.

  Note: The steps to enter TTY mode may differ depending on the installed version of AVEVA Engineering.
