Incremental Compilation

You can compile the project incrementally. With incremental compilation, Plant SCADA only compiles the database records that were added (or changed) since the last compilation. The remainder of the project is not re-compiled.

Note: Some database records are dependent on other database records. If you change a dependent record, Plant SCADA compiles the entire database.

Before you run a system on a live plant, perform a complete compilation (switch off incremental compile) as the compilation will be more rigorous. Similarly, when you restore a project, you need to perform a complete compilation the first time (switch off incremental compile).

To switch to incremental compile:

1. Open Plant SCADA Plant SCADA Studio.

2. On the Activity Bar, select Options.

   

   The Options dialog box will appear.

3. Select the Incremental compile check box.

4. Click OK.

The compiler also supports a number of other options that modify the output of the compile error log. For more information, see Compilation Options.
