Exporting and Importing Networks with XML

Tips:

• If you are making changes that affect the LonMaker drawing, set the LonMaker event log limit

high enough to hold all of the events that may be generated by the XML file import. You can set
the maximum number of log entries in the network properties: Synchronization options category
(see Appendix A for more information on this option). Alternatively, in the
<LonWorksNetwork> section of the XML file, you can insert the limit between a pair of
EventLimit tags, using the following format: n, where n is the
maximum number of log entries saved per drawing file.

• To reduce the time required to import a L

ON

W

ORKS

network XML file, do the following: remove

entries from the L

ON

W

ORKS

network XML file that do not need to be updated before importing

the network (especially collections of objects); import the XML file with the LonMaker tool
OffNet; close any remote applications if you are importing a large amount of data.
