To summarize:
● Runtime archives are written during runtime.
● Configuration archives are written during the engineering phase on the ES.
To avoid the loss of runtime archives, their content is not copied with server downloads. Archive
content is only copied the first time a server is downloaded (no existing OS folder in the target
location). This may mean that subsequent changes to archives during the engineering phase
are not applied to the server upon download.
Remedy:
1. If existing runtime databases can be overwritten in the engineering phase and no APF
runtime archives have yet been filled: Delete target folder and download entire server /
servers.
2. Export user archive content on the ES and import content on the server.
