21–6 Managing Projects
Publication 2711-6.0
Because applications can share the same project, projects are
portable. They can be copied from one computer to another. You
may have an application on another computer that uses all or some of
the tags in an existing project.
Each project and its files are stored as a separate folder in
C:\AB\PROJECTS. For example, the project files for a project
named PV900PRJ are stored as follows:
C:\ab\projects\PV900PRJ
appdata.db
appdata.mb
appdata.px
element.db
element.mb
element.px
To copy a project from one computer to another:
1. Copy the project folder and all of its files to a disk.
2. Insert the disk in the drive on the target computer.
3. Copy the project files on disk to the C:\AB\Projects.
4. Start PanelBuilder.
5. Choose Project Management from the Application menu.
6. From the Current Project list, select the name of the project just
copied to the computer.
7. Click Done.
When you open the application, the copied project will become the
current project for the application.
Note: Translated applications (.PVA files) are downloaded to the
terminal with only those project tags used by the application. When
copying .PBA files to another computer, only those tags used by the
application are copied with the application.
