 You need to extract information that was generated at run time, such as updated
RecipePlus files.
When you create the .mer file, you can specify whether or not to allow conversion of the
run-time .mer file, and whether to require a password to convert the run-time application.
For more information about converting .mer files to development applications, see
page 14-6.
Version 6.0 or earlier .mer files created on a 64-bit operating system cannot be converted to
design-time projects (MED files). This is due to an incompatibility of the previous FactoryTalk
View database engine with 64-bit operating systems. Thus, when you create a version 6.0 or
earlier .MER file on a workstation running 64-bit operating system, the only option available in
FactoryTalk View Studio is Never allow conversion. When creating a version 6.0 or earlier
.MER on a workstation running a 64-bit operating system, this is the default option (and only
choice) for the Conversion to development application setting.
