About restoring System information with the application
In FactoryTalk View Studio, in a local station application, the top-level System folder
contains FactoryTalk Security information, including user accounts set up for all
applications using the same FactoryTalk Local Directory (also called the Local
Directory).
When you back up a local station application, this FactoryTalk system information is
saved to the archive automatically. When you restore a local station application, you can
choose whether to restore the system information with the application.
To restore FactoryTalk system information with a local station
application
In the Application Manager tool, after specifying the archive to restore, select the option,
Restore the FactoryTalk View SE (local station) application and FactoryTalk
Local Directory.
To complete the operation, the user logged on to the Application Manager must have
FactoryTalk administrative rights at the Local Directory being restored.
Move data servers and change their properties
A FactoryTalk View SE local station application can contain one RSLinx Enterprise data
server, which must be located on the same computer as the application.
In addition, the local station application can contain one or more OPC data servers
(RSLinx Classic, or some other OPC server), which can be located on remote computers.
After ensuring that the required communications software is installed on production
computers, for each remote OPC data server you are deploying, move the configuration
files to the production computer and specify the new host computer name.
After installing RSLinx Enterprise, RSLinx Classic, or some other OPC server software
on the production computer, if necessary, you can move the data server’s setup files to the
computer.
Backing up and restoring RSLinx Enterprise files
When you back up a FactoryTalk View SE local station application, the archive includes
RSLinx Enterprise shortcut names, but does not include device path information.
For information about moving setup files for OPC data servers other than RSLinx Classic, see
the product documentation for the OPC server.
