3. Pre-test them in Engineering environment.
4. Use the Environment Difference tool to verify the differences between
Production environment and Engineering environment.
5. Use the Deploy tool to move the changes from Engineering environment to
Production environment.
6. If further changes are done in Production environment the Engineering
environment can be updated using the Update and/or Replace tool to prepare
Engineering environment for a next change cycle. Be aware that Update cannot
be used with Control Builder related aspects. The Replace tool has to be used
in this case.
The Configure-Deploy way of working can be beneficial when doing changes in a
Production System, but also in an Engineering and Test System:
How configuration changes can be handled when Load - Evaluate - Go environment
support (separately licensed functionality) is enabled in Configuration Wizard is
described in System 800xA Engineering, Engineering and Production Environments
(3BSE045030*). This instruction gives also more details on the Configure-Deploy
way of working.
Audit Trail
The Audit Trail function is controlled with the Audit Trail Configuration aspect that
allows filtering of the audit event categories to suit the needed audit requirements in
a system. The Audit Trail Configuration controls the audit settings for a whole
system. Filtering cannot be set on object level.
Note that no download to a controller is possible in the Engineering environment.
Only Test Mode (simulated controller) in Control Builder M Professional can be
used.
Note that there can be aspect categories that cannot be configured in the
Engineering environment: Production-only aspects.
Especially when working in a Production System with Engineering and
Production environment you need to be aware of performance issues and
disturbances of the running process.
