Load Options — Summary
- The default window is Shared unless you change the default. Viewing
the types separately helps prevent confusion.
- You can change a device specific configuration to shared or a shared one
to device specific. These are options in the ECM Main window Options
menu.
You load a configuration from the window in which you see it: Device
Specific or Shared (see Loading Device Specific Configurations, on
Page 5-15 and Loading Shared Configurations, on Page 5-23).
• Viewing device specific Configurations
Device specific configurations are displayed as nested under the devices to
which they are loaded. Devices are further nested under the landscapes to
which they belong. This is a three-level hierarchy. Unloaded
configurations are displayed under the landscapes in which they are
stored. See Figure 5-3 on Page 5-17.
• Viewing Shared Configurations
Shared configurations are displayed as nested under the landscape to
which they belong. This is a two-level hierarchy (see Figure 5-7 on
Page 5-25):
- The devices you select for loading a shared configuration are displayed
separately in a list box below the configuration list box, since shared
configurations are loaded to all of the selected devices.
- The device name that appears in the device list when you open this
window is either the device you selected when you invoked ECM from
SPECTRUM or the device component you selected from the ECM
Navigate Components option of the Main window.
- To choose other or more devices (than the one first displayed), you click
on the Choose button next to the device list box and then select the
devices to which you want to load.
• Checking Configuration Version Numbers and Load Status
Displayed next to each configuration is its version number and its load
status (see Figure 5-2 on Page 5-10):
- Version numbers start with 1 and increase with each save. This helps
you track configurations.
- You have the option of overwriting a configuration without changing its
version number or of creating a new configuration (with a new name)
from an existing configuration, without changing the version number of
the existing configuration.
- Load status is L for loaded, P for partially loaded, R for rolled back, and
- for not loaded. If a configuration attribute(s) [feature(s)] cannot be
loaded and the Safe Load option is OFF, the configuration will be
partially loaded. If the Safe Load option is ON and a configuration
