Configuration Set Management
Configuration Set Management
The top of the Configurator menu (Figure90) shows the name of the
selected set. This is the system configur
ation directory that is currently
selected for editing.
After a set is edited, it should be saved and then compiled. If the set is suc-
cessfully compiled, the set name will appe
ar on the Jupiter Network Suite
Control Center “Application” menu; the set can then be selected for down-
load, during which a copy is sent to the system hardware. Another copy
alw
ays remains in the server, ready for automatic, on-demand download to
the hardware.
The Jupiter can have any number of configur
ation sets, each of which con-
tains the file and subset types shown in Figure 92 on page 133. (The files in
quotation marks are example names.)
Any one of the configuration sets can be selected for use by the system. This
allows
the entire system to be re-configured from the file server with only
a brief interruption to normal operations.
Modifying and Downloading a System Configuration Set
Note Program the system in small steps and compile often!
As described earlier, a compiled and/or active configuration set cannot be
edited directly. And, since creating a new configuration set from scratch is
a very time−consuming process, you will probably want to make changes
by making a copy of the un-compiled (source) version of the set, editing it,
and then switching the new set on-line. While any number of file manage-
ment schemes can be used to accomplis
h this, the following procedure is
suggested:
1. Make a copy of the most recent, known−good source set. Name the
copy “CONFIG01.”
2. Edit “CONFIG01.” Save the set.
3. Compile and Download “CONFIG01.”
4. Select and copy source set CONFIG01. Name the copy “CONFIG02”
when the next change is needed.
5. Edit “CONFIG02.” Save. Compile and download.
6. Repeat above steps as needed.
Eventually you will want to start deleting the older sets.
