File contents and structure
[HMIServerParameters]
HMIServerName=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects\Waste Water Project \Waste Water Project.sed
DestinationPath=C:\Saved Projects
ShowOverwriteWarning=N
ExcludeDatalog=Y
where:
  • [HMIServerParameters]
     is a mandatory section heading.
  • HMIServerName
     is a keyword whose value specifies the path to, and name of, the HMI server, for example, HMIServerName = C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI projects\Waste Water Project\Waste Water Project.sed. The full path to the *.sed file must be entered all on one line. Quotes are not required around the parameter.
  • DestinationPath
     is a keyword whose value specifies only the target folder where the HMI project will be saved. An empty project folder with the same name is not required. The path must be entered all on one line (for example, C:\Saved Projects).
  • ShowOverWriteWarning
     is a keyword whose value specifies whether a warning appears when you attempt to overwrite an existing backup file of the same name. A value of
    Y
     makes the warning dialog box appear. A value of
    N
     disables the warning dialog box.
  • ExcludeDataLog
     is a keyword whose value specifies whether data log file sets associated with the HMI server should be included in the backup file. A value of
    Y
     excludes the data log file sets; a value of
    N
    , or a missing value includes the data log file sets. Include the data log file sets only if you need them because they increase the size of the backup file and the amount of time necessary for the backup to complete.
