274 Exporting and Importing Networks with XML
Specific CP Values specific CPs are CPs that may be changed by the device itself or by another
device that is not based on LNS. The LonMaker tool reads device-specific
values from the devices in the network—this option is unavailable if the
LonMaker computer is not connected to the physical network. This option can
add significant processing time to the export if there are many device-specific
CPs within the export scope.
Report Device
Address Table
Counts Includes the address table counts of all exported devices. This option is
unavailable if you are using the LonMaker tool on a remote client. This option
can add significant processing time to the export if there are many devices
within the export scope
Exclude XSLT
Stylesheet Includes the XSLT style sheet. See LonMaker Network Report later in this
chapter.
Include Channels Selects which channels are reported in the XML file. Choose All, None, or
Referenced. Referenced means that only channels referenced by devices
within the selected network scope will be reported.
Include Device
Templates Selects which device templates are reported in the XML file. Choose All,
None, or Referenced. Referenced means that only device templates referenced
by devices within the selected network scope will be reported.
Include Connection
Descriptions Selects which connection descriptions are reported in the XML file. Choose
All, None, or Referenced. Referenced means that only connection descriptions
referenced by connections within the selected network scope will be reported.
Comments Specifies optional comments that you can use to document the export file. The
comments are inserted as a set of comment tags containing the comments in the
XML file.
File Name Specifies the name of the XML file. The default name is
C:\XML\network\Export[ _version ].xml.
3. Click OK. The LonMaker XML Export Status window displaying the report status appears,
and the LonMaker tool generates the XML file. You can click Cancel to stop the XML export.
When “Export complete” appears, click OK to close the window.
4. You can open the exported L ON W ORKS network XML file in an XML editor and begin viewing,
creating, deleting, or modifying items; view the exported XML file as a LonMaker network report;
or view or edit the LonMaker XML file with another application. If you make changes to the
XML file, save the file. You can then import the updated XML file back into the network as
described in Importing a LonMaker XML File
Viewing a LonMaker Network Report
You can view a L ON W ORKS network XML file as a LonMaker network report in your Web browser.
This report is available as long as the Exclude XSLT Stylesheet option in the XML Export Options
dialog box is cleared.
To view a LonMaker network report, follow these steps:
1. Generate a L ON W ORKS network XML file.
2. Clear the Exclude XSLT Stylesheet check box in the XML Export Options dialog box.
3. Optionally modify the L ON W ORKS network XML file directly or with another application.
4. Either open the LonMaker XML file from Internet Explorer, or open the folder containing the
LonMaker XML file and double-click the file (Internet Explorer must be your default Web
browser for this method to work). The LonMaker network report appears.
