A.23 Using the Archive utility
The ISaGRAF archive utility enables the user to save the ISaGRAF projects and
libraries on diskettes or backup directory. The ISaGRAF archive manager is a
dialog box that can be called from ISaGRAF Project Management or Library
Management windows.
To create and maintain reliable archives, it is suggested that the following
guidelines be used:
• Write the name and description of the saved object on the disk sticker
• Do not save projects and libraries on the same diskette
• Do not save different projects on the same diskette
A.23.1 Calling the archive manager
The "Archive" dialog box can be called from the "Tools / Archive" menu of the
Project Management window, to save or restore either a project, or common data.
The "Archive" dialog box can also be run from the "Tools / Archive" command of
the ISaGRAF Library Manager, to save or restore elements of the library currently
selected in the Library Management window.
Projects
A project is always saved in its entire form. All the components of the project
(program source files, object code and application executable code) are saved
together in the same archive file. Selection of the "compression" option reduces
the size of the project archive.
Library elements
The elements of ISaGRAF libraries can be saved individually. All the components of
a library element (technical note, definition, interface, source code...) are saved
together in the same archive file.
Common data
The "Tool / Archive / Common data" command of the Project Management
window enables the user to backup or restore the "common range" data existing in
the ISaGRAF Workbench. This command does not act on the ISaGRAF libraries.
Below is the list of the files that can be copied with this command:
common.eqv......common defined words
oem.bat..............user defined MS-DOS command file
These files are saved one by one on the archive disk, in their original form. The
corresponding archive files are never compressed.
