Use the RecipePlus Setup editor to specify the run-time file location.
Store files outside the HMI project
If you store the recipe files outside the HMI project, the run-time application can use
updated recipe files without creating a new run-time application (.mer) file.
Storing recipe files outside the HMI project also allows you to use FactoryTalk View
Studio to view and edit recipe data that is saved at run time without converting the .mer
file to an .med file. For more information, see page 29-13.
This is the path to the RecipePlus folder:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\RSView
Enterprise\ME\HMI projects\Project name\RecipePlus
(Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003)
or
\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\HMI projects\Project
name\RecipePlus
(Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server
2008, and Windows Vista)
If recipe files are stored outside the HMI project, when you perform an action on a recipe
file at run time, the file is locked until the action is completed. This prevents other users
from making changes to a file while you are working with it.
If you want to store recipe files outside of the HMI project at run time, make sure you move the
files from the application’s RecipePlus folder to the specified run-time location before running the
application.
