Transferring Data Between Projects

The RECONFIGURER provides a simple means of transferring data from one Project to another, on the same type of computer, provided both Projects are running under the same major version of the AVEVA base product and provided cross-referencing between Databases (DBs) is considered logically.

The transfer operation in this case requires the use of the FROM FILES and TO FILES options of the FROM and TO commands. In the simplest case, namely the transfer of the contents of a single DB, such as a Catalogue, the following sequence of commands could be used:

In the source Project:

In the destination Project:

Note:
FREE (i.e. Read/Write) access is required to both Projects.

If the contents of more than one DB are to be transferred, provided no reference attributes point outside the set of DBs being transferred, an extension of the same procedure could be used. Consider the transfer of the whole of one Model DB, the whole of a Catalogue DB and one item of equipment from a second Model DB, thus:

The reconfiguration commands should be given in the following order:

In the source Project:

In the destination Project:
