Repeat steps 1 to 5 on all client and server computers that will participate in the deployed
network distributed application.
Move the application’s data server files
After specifying the FactoryTalk Network Directory location on application clients and
servers, ensure that the required communications software (RSLinx Enterprise, RSLinx
Classic, or other OPC software) is installed on computers that will run data servers.
Then, if necessary for the data servers you are deploying, move configuration files to the
production computers, and then specify the new host computer names.
Restoring RSLinx Enterprise configurations
When you back up a FactoryTalk View SE network distributed application, the archive
includes RSLinx Enterprise shortcut names, but does not include device path information.
After restoring the application, you must open the Communications Setup editor in
FactoryTalk View Studio, and re-apply the device path for each configured shortcut.
For details, see "Renew data server shortcuts, topics, and device paths" on page 73.
Backing up and restoring RSLinx Classic configurations
RSLinx Classic configuration files are not included when you back up a network
distributed application. You have to back up, move, and restore the files manually.
If RSLinx Classic is installed on the development and production computers, you can use
the RSLinx Classic Backup/Restore tool to back up and restore configuration files.
To move RSLinx Classic configuration files
1. On the development computer, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software >
RSLinx, and then click RSLinx Classic Backup Restore Utility.
For information about moving setup files for OPC data servers other than RSLinx Classic, see
the product documentation for the OPC server.
You can also restore RSLinx Classic configuration files from the Wizard Completed window of
the RSLinx Classic software setup program.
