Convert configuration file

So that the "Alarm&Event Service" can read the XML files, they must be converted into
binary format. Files with the same name are created in the same directory with the file
extension ".hmi", e.g. "sample_slaedatabase.hmi".
Restart the HMI sl
Restart HMI sl.
This data is only converted during startup. The result of the conversion, including syntax
errors in the alarm attribute file, is written into the file "oem_ae_database_conversion.log".
The file is located in the /User/sinumerik/hmi/log directory.
Note
The conversion is only performed when the time stamp of the "*.xml" file is newer than the
associated "*.hmi" file. To force a new conversion, the "*.xml" file must be edited.
