Export a gateway model configuration

NOTE:
The Export feature will be available in a future release of FactoryTalk Edge Gateway distributed.
Export a gateway model configuration to a CSV file. Edit the exported CSV file outside of
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 and then import the CSV file to the namespace for use by
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 applications.
When errors occur during export,
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 creates a log file in the
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 installation folder under
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway\fteg-ct\export_import_logs.
You can perform these actions for gateway model configuration:
  • Add, delete, and rename nodes and properties.
  • Assign tags to properties.
To export a gateway model configuration
  1. Do one of these actions:
    • Preselect models and then select
      Export models
      .
    • Select models in the dialog.
  2. In
    Select folder
    , determine where to export the gateway model configuration files.
  3. In
    Select instances (with tags), templates (no tags) or data sources only
    , select the data to export.
    • Instances
      . Select this option to export an instance. The instance includes tags bound to the properties and data source information.
      The data sources associated with the model are selected by default. Clear the checkboxes, if necessary.
    • Templates
      . Select this option to export a gateway model template from one gateway configuration tool namespace and then build a model to import to a different gateway configuration tool namespace. The template does not contain tag bindings. Data sources are not exported with the template.
    • Data sources only
      . Select this option to export specific data sources. A data source CSV file is exported to use as a tag reference to associate with properties in the model. Data sources are not available for selection if they are either unpopulated or loading.
  4. Select

    .
    FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
     creates and saves a CSV file for each model or data source in your folder location.
