IMPORTANT
Process systems must export their Engineering Repository
Database at this time before proceeding.
The data that is saved during this step can be stored on the
existing system, but can NOT be contained within the
C:\Honeywell path.
For Example, create a sub-directory at the root of C: ie
C:\ExportDB.
If the system is brand new (ie, no configuration applied
yet.), then this procedure can be skipped.
