Replicate changes to the secondary HMI server

While the primary HMI server is active, you can modify HMI project components, such
as graphic displays, configuration files, and log files. However, any changes you make on
the primary server are not synchronized automatically on the secondary server.

To synchronize server settings and contents, you must replicate changes manually, from
the primary to the secondary server. 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.
