Move the local station application
There are two steps involved in moving a local station application: on the development
computer, back up the application; then, on the production computer, restore the
application archive.
You can perform both of these steps in the Application Manager tool. For details about
options in the Application Manager, click Help in the tool.
To back up a local station application
1. On the desktop, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
View > Tools, and then click Application Manager.
2. In the Application Manager, select Site Edition (Local Station), and then click
Next.
3. Select the back up operation, and then follow the instructions in the Application
Manager to complete the operation.
4. Copy the .apa file to the new (production) computer.
To restore a local station application
1. On the production computer, on the desktop, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell
Software > FactoryTalk View > Tools, and then click Application Manager.
2. Select Site Edition (Local Station), and then click Next.
3. Select the restore operation, and then follow the instructions in the Application
Manager to complete the operation.
Before backing up an application, record the user names and passwords of administrative users
set up for the application, in case you need this information after restoring the application.
To back up a local station application, the logged on user must have FactoryTalk
administrative rights. If you receive a prompt to log on, check with your System Administrator.
If you are restoring a local station application on a computer that contains a copy of the original
application, restart the computer, then use the Application Manager to delete (or rename) the
original application, before you begin the restore operation.
To restore a local station application, the logged on user must have FactoryTalk
