8. Import the afw-file (Import All) or only a required selected part within the
afw-file (Import), taking decisions on replacements if needed.
9. Execute Step 4 to Step 8 for all afw-files.
10. Verify the imported contents, use for example the Consistency Check tool on
the imported items.
11. Do further actions make the imported contents work, such as Generate
Configuration Data on Function Diagrams, Download the Control Application,
and so on.
If on the Production System the Configure-Deploy way of working is used the
imports have to be done against the Engineering Environment except for the
Production-only aspects. They can only be imported into the Production
Environment. If you try to import such aspects into the Engineering environment,
the Import tool will skip them.
Synchronizing Changes Between Environments
In a system that has environment support enabled in Configuration Wizard you can
work with two separate environments: Engineering and Production. Environment
support is a separately licensed functionality.
Changes towards the Production environment then can be handled according the
Configure-Deploy way of working, performing the following principal steps:
1. In Configuration Wizard refresh the Engineering environment from Production
environment.
2. Do the changes in Engineering environment.
Engineering Repository application server also can be used to transfer the
changes done in Engineering System to a Production System.
Engineering Repository has more intelligence than Import Export tool. It allows
the user to save, compare, and retrieve data. Engineering Repository is described
in System 800xA, Maintenance (3BSE046784*).
