The replicate operation copies the primary server’s configuration files, including settings
in the Components tab, to the secondary server.
For example, if an On Active and a Shutdown macro are selected for the primary server,
the settings will be replicated to the secondary. This means that the same macros specified
for the primary server will run when the secondary server becomes active or shuts down.
Information that is not included in the replicate operation includes datalog files generated
at run time, the current value of HMI memory tags, retentive tags, and the HMI tag alarm
suppressed list.
To replicate changes from the primary to the secondary server
1. Open the restored application in the FactoryTalk View Studio Enterprise.
2. In the Explorer window, right-click the HMI server’s name, and then click
Properties.
3. Click the Redundancy tab, and then click Replicate Primary to Secondary.
To finish replicating, follow the on-screen instructions. After the replicate operation is
complete, the secondary server is restarted.
Set up the FactoryTalk View SE Clients
The FactoryTalk View SE Client provides a complete and secure run-time environment
for a local application. For example, operators can use the client to:
 Load, view, and interact with graphic displays from any HMI server in the
application.
 Monitor and control alarms (HMI tag alarms and FactoryTalk Alarms and Events).
 View and interact with trends.
 Adjust set points.
 Start and stop server components.
For the replicate operation to succeed, a copy of the HMI project files must already exist on the
secondary server computer. In addition, the state of the primary server must be Active, and the
state of the secondary server must be Standby, for the duration of the operation. If you need to
copy the HMI project files, see "Move the application’s HMI project files" on page 66.
If a secondary server is not specified, the Replicate Primary to Secondary button will not be
available in the Redundancy tab.
