Configuring maintenance targets for individual export

Introduction
Maintenance targets can be selected for storage of individual export files in the process control.
The selection is made in the "Maintenance" view of the faceplate.
A target object is created automatically by the system.
Automatically created target object:
The name is Default target. The path is project directory ...\wincproj\<os-name>.
A target object has the properties "Name:" and "Path:".
The name of the target path is entered in the "Name:" entry field.
The target path for the individual export file is entered in the "Path:" entry field.
You can add, change and/or delete target objects.
You can restore the diagnostic settings for all lists in the tab using the "Set Default Settings"
button.
Note
This function is available if you configured the Maintenance Station in the MS Standard version.
Target directory
The target directory can be configured as a local or network directory.
Target directory
Local target direc‐
tory
Network target di‐
rectory
Note
We recommend that you configure the target directory as a network target directory for a plant
configuration with an MS server and a standby MS server. This will ensure that the export file
is always stored in the same "location", regardless of which MS server is the master at the
time the export is initiated.
Rules
● Maintenance targets are always valid for the entire multiproject/project.
● The name of the target object has a length of not more than 24 characters.
● The name of the target object is managed in one language.
● The maximum length of the target directory is 256 characters.
