Restore Configuration to Local Tab

In some cases, it may be necessary to edit an application after the
DeviceNet configuration on the Local tab has changed or has been
moved to a different computer. The RSLinx Enterprise Local tab
configuration stays resident on the desktop computer, regardless of
which application is being edited.

Copy Configuration to Local
Tab

The following procedure shows how to copy the Target tab
configuration for an application to the Local tab to allow for browsing
for tags.

Make sure that the DeviceNet configuration is saved, make sure the
application is backed up using Application Manager.

When you are ready to resume editing, restore the application using
the Application Manager. This will create an XML file with the
restored I/O configuration. For RSView Studio software, you must
complete the following steps.

1. Close RSView Studio software.

2. Disable the RSLinx Enterprise service within the Service Control

Manager (Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services).

3. Double-click RSLinx Enterprise.

4. Make a backup copy of the current RSLinxNG.xml file in

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Rockwell\RSLinx Enterprise.

5. Rename the Restored_restoredAppNAme_RSLinxNG.xml to

RSLinxNG.xml.

6. Re-enable and restart the RSLinx Enterprise software.

IMPORTANT

This procedure will overwrite all driver configurations on the
Local tab with all of the driver configurations that were on the
Target tab when the application was backed up.
