Add FactoryTalk Directory dialog box

How do I open the Add FactoryTalk Directory dialog box?
  1. To enter Design mode if you are not already in it, click design_mode_button.
  2. In the Asset Catalog, expand the
    SCADA, EOI and FactoryTalk Items
     node.
  3. Drag a FactoryTalk Directory asset onto the tree in the Asset View.
Use the
Add FactoryTalk Directory
 dialog box to add a FactoryTalk Directory asset to the asset tree. You can add a FactoryTalk Directory asset in the root or in a container.
This asset allows you to run a schedule of the FactoryTalk Directory asset to back up the FactoryTalk Directory of your system on a regular basis.
The FactoryTalk Directory asset is added to the asset tree as soon as this dialog box opens. Clicking
Cancel
in this dialog box abandons any changes made to the asset properties, but leaves the asset in the tree.
IMPORTANT:
When performing a disaster recovery schedule for FactoryTalk Directory, simultaneously running a disaster recovery schedule for assets that use the VerificationAgent service might cause errors with the messages "Error: could not load agent" and "Error: could not load Verification agent".
Assets that use the VerificationAgent service to run disaster recovery schedules include Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 Controller, Allen-Bradley PanelView, Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus, Allen-Bradley MobileView, Allen-Bradley MicroLogix Controller, Allen-Bradley PLC-5, and Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Controller.
To avoid this problem, adjust the time intervals between disaster recovery schedules for FactoryTalk Directory and disaster recovery schedules for assets that use the VerificationAgent service to prevent overlap. The interval duration depends on the size of the system, larger systems generally require longer intervals.
