Integrating projects
For SIMATIC WinCC flexible projects, the component type WinCC flexible is available in the directory Siemens/HMI softwarein octoplant.
You can customize component types in the AdminClient by using the Component Type Editor module.
In order to integrate your project data into octoplant, proceed as follows:
-
Create a new component in the UserClient with the above component type.
-
Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Open in file manager (Ctrl+E).
-
Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.
-
Check in the component using the option Create base version and Check-In.
-
You can now manage the project in octoplant.
If you do not have project data, you can still create a component that can be used to create a job to create a backup. You can then create a version of the project data from the backup created in that job on the server.
Proceed as follows:
-
Create a new component in the UserClient with the above component type.
-
Select the option Check-In without base version.
-
In the AdminClient, create and run a job for this component.
-
Open the UserClient and go to your component.
-
In the Jobs tab, select the backup, click on Copy backup to directory and then copy the backup to the working directory.
-
Create a new version of the component and check it in.
Please note:
-
The backup/previous backup comparison for the runtime can only be displayed as a binary comparison.
-
The version/backup comparison for the Runtime is not possible.
This means that you will not see a detailed comparison for the Runtime, but a disaster recovery can be performed in any case, i.e. you can use the created backup to restore the Runtime.
The process of creating a version while using a restricted Windows user account has failed. What do I have to do so that the comparison can be performed without errors?
