Copying the SDS Instruction Database
After you update the message database, you may want to copy it to disk to be
used at another workstation. To do this:
1. Insert a disk into the disk drive.
2. Exit to DOS.
3. From any directory on the hard drive, type:
ATTRIB +A \IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\ processor name.SDS /S and press [ENTER].
This command turns on the archive bit of all files so the next command
knows which ones to copy.
4. Type:
XCOPY \IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\ processor name.SDS disk drive:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\processor name.SDS /S/M
and press [ENTER].
For example:
XCOPY \IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\PROC1.SDS A:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\PROC1.SDS /S/M
and press [ENTER].
The system displays all the files being transferred.
The /M in the xcopy command (see above) turns off the archive bit after a
file is copied. If you fill up one disk during the copying process,
re-execute step 3 and the copying process on the next disk will pick up
where you left off.
5. Insert the disk in the system to which you are transferring the database.
6. Type:
XCOPY disk drive:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\processor name.SDS hard drive: /S
and press [ENTER].
For example:
XCOPY A:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\PROC1.SDS C: /S and press [ENTER].
The system now copies the database to your disk.
