Configure the Run/Copy Setup Page

The Run/Copy Setup page allows you to run your project files from a specified location. You can also configure an optional copy path that allows the files in the run location to be automatically synchronized.

For more information on Run/Copy functionality, see Automatic File Transfer in the topic Distribute the Project.

In the Specify the Run path field, enter the path to the local project that you wish to run or use the Select button to locate the required project.

Note: The run path needs to point to a project folder under Plant SCADA's ‘User’ directory. See View a Project's Folders.

If you wish to maintain a synchronized local version of an external project, enter the path to the external project in the Specify the Copy path field, or use the Select button to browse to the external project. This feature uses the [CtEdit]Run and [CtEdit]Copy commands to maintain synchronization between the two projects.

Note: The Run/Copy mechanism does not transfer custom files such as meta-data, icons, images or runtime DBF files. Therefore, it is recommended deploying a project before Run/Copy to help ensure that those files at least exist. You will still need to re-deploy a project, when you want to update the custom files.
