Engineering Repository
3BDS011222-510 B 399
The backup files of a System Configuration Version can be restored to the same or
to another node using Configuration Wizard to fall back to a saved consistent
version of system configuration.
It can also be used to set up initially an new Engineering System with the current
configuration of a Production System.
For more details on System Configuration Version and Backup / Restore refer to
System 800xA, Maintenance (3BSE046784*).
Synchronizing Changes Between Systems
Changes done in an Engineering System can be transferred to a Production System
using Engineering Repository application server or Import / Export tool.
Engineering Repository
The Engineering Repository is a simple source control system for:
• Storing engineering solutions.
• Moving engineering solutions between Engineering and Production systems.
• Comparing engineering solutions.
The Engineering Repository on the Application Server is not an integrated part of it,
but with communication access to an 800xA system. The Application Server hosts
web-services which are reachable from 800xA systems.
Engineering solutions are placed on the Application Server as .afw files. In addition,
the Engineering Repository stores metadata in order to gain performance in storing
and retrieving afw files.
The user can add the following entities to the Engineering Repository.
• Control Project.
• Control Application.
• Controller.
• Library.
• Custom Entities.
