Merging IzoT Commissioning Tool Networks

To merge two IzoT Commissioning Tool networks, follow these steps:

1. Identify the source and destination networks. The supernodes, subsystems, devices, functional

blocks, and connections in the source network are added to the destination network. The devices
in the destination network are not modified.

2. Back up the source IzoT Commissioning Tool network design following the steps in Manually

Backing Up an IzoT Commissioning Tool Network Design in this chapter. You can use the backup
to restore the network if the merge process fails for any reason. You can also use it to restore the
network if you later choose not to merge the networks after running the pre-merge utility.

In the event that you do not merge the networks after running the pre-merge utility in the source
network, restore the IzoT Commissioning Tool backup file. This is because the pre-merge utility
adds significant data to the OpenLNS CT drawing that will degrade the performance of the
network database.

3. Open the source IzoT Commissioning Tool network design following the steps described in

Opening an IzoT Commissioning Tool Network Design in Chapter 3, Getting Started.

4. Click Add-ins, point to Synchronization, and then click Database Merge Export Utility. The

Merge Export Utility dialog box opens.

The merge export utility prepares the network to be merged into another network. The utility adds
data from the source OpenLNS network database to the source OpenLNS CT drawing.
