Managing Projects

Publication 2711-6.0

Whenever you open an application (.PBA file), the dialog below
opens to verify a one-to-one correspondence between the tags in the
application and the tags in the project. The dialog then reopens to
verify the devices in the application with the devices in the project.

It is possible that the application tags or devices are different than
those in the project.

For example:

1. You transfer an application (.PBA file) from a computer to a

laptop. Tag information is stored in the .PBA file. When you open
the application, a project containing all the tags is created on the
hard drive.

2. You edit the definition of a tag on the laptop and then save the

application (.PBA file). The project on the laptop is now
different than the original project copied from the computer.

3. You transfer the application (.PBA file) back to the computer.

The updated project is transferred with the application.

4. When you open the application (.PBA file) on the computer, a

dialog opens allowing you to update the original project.

This dialog does not open
if you are creating a new
application that is not yet
associated with a project.

The dialog displays the name of the first application device or tag
that is different than the project. You have the following options:

Click:

To:

Yes

Replace the project tag or device with the application tag or device.
Select Yes, if you know that a specific tag or device has been
modified and you want to update the project database.

No

Ignore the application tag or device. Do not replace the tag or
device in the project database with the application tag or device.

Replace All

Replace all project tags or devices with the application tags or
devices.

Replace None

Ignore all application tags or devices. Do not replace any tags or
devices in the project.

Cancel Open

Cancel the open.

If you select No or Replace None, a dialog opens reminding you that
the application may not validate because of the differences.
