Move a ProcessBook to Another PC

If you decide to move a ProcessBook to another PC, you may experience
some differences in display entry appearance on the new PC:

When the number of colors is different between the original PC and
new PC, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook uses the closest color
when drawing an entry. This is true for any graphics you may have
included in an entry.

If an entry calls for a font that is not available on the new PC,
FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook substitutes a similar font.

If a ProcessBook includes links to other entries, ProcessBooks, or
applications, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook may not be able to
locate them if the path on the new PC is not the same as the old one.

Node names (for FactoryTalk Historian servers) must be identical.

Different monitors have different resolutions, which may distort the
appearance of an existing ProcessBook.

FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook records both the absolute and relative
paths for Linked displays and Linked ProcessBooks. This means you can
copy ProcessBooks to new directories without breaking links as long as
either all the linked files are placed in a similar directory tree or all the
drive, directory, and file names remain the same.
