Configure device transfer options

You need to configure the settings for transferring tour run data.

1. Choose one of the following actions.

   Option	Description
   If the mobile device is not cradled	Select Mobile Devices > Device Transfer Options.
   If the mobile device is cradled	Choose one of the following methods of opening the Device Data Transfer Console window: Select Mobile Devices > Common Tasks > Device Data Transfer. Select Mobile Devices > Device Data Transfer. Press F7. Click the Options icon.

2. On the Receive Options tab of the Device Data Transfer Options window, select a tour run import option.

   • Import all tour runs

   • Import only completed tour runs (Tour runs that are still in progress remain on the device.)

3. Select the Send Options tab and configure the send data options.

   Data transfer option	Description
   Reload User Database	Determines whether the PI Manual Logger user database on the device is reloaded. This database contains the PI Manual Logger group and user permissions.
   Update cached PI tag values before transferring	Determines whether the latest PI point archive values are updated before they are transferred to the mobile device.
   Number of tour runs per tour to retain on the device after transfer	Specifies the number of tour runs per tour to retain on the device after the transfer. This enables you to re-open the tour run and review or edit tag data. Due to memory constraints on mobile devices, OSIsoft recommends that if you do choose to retain tour runs on the device, retain only 1. Note: Remember that if the value you select is less than the number of incomplete tour runs when Import only completed tour runs is selected on the Receive Options tab, all incomplete tour runs remain on the device.

4. Select the General Options tab and specify general data transfer settings.

   Data transfer option	Description
   Temporary folder on PC or Server for device data transfer	PI Manual Logger uses a temporary transfer folder when the pimlmobile.sdf mobile database file is sent to and from the mobile device. The default path is My Documents\PimlMobileData. Either enter the full folder path, or click and locate the temporary folder you want to use in the Browse For Folder window. You can also click and create a new folder. The folder must be writeable by all PI Manual Logger Mobile users. The folder is created if it does not exist when the transfer occurs.
   Attempt to compact the device database during transfer	Determines if the mobile database file should be compacted before it is transferred to the mobile device. A mobile database can only be compacted if SQL Compact Replication components are installed. If replication components are not installed, clear this check box.

5. Click OK to save changes to the device data transfer options.

After you have made these changes to the PI Manual Logger database, you need to transfer them to the mobile device.
