Integrating projects
Emerson PAC Machine Edition uses a central repository to manage projects. This results in some special features in the collaboration between Emerson PAC Machine Edition and octoplant.
The folder, in which new projects are created, is defined by the editor. This means that a new project cannot be created directly in a component. The SwxCF project file must always be moved before it can be managed in octoplant. Normally the SwxCF file is saved in
C:\Program Files\Proficy\ProficyMachineEdition\SecurWORX\Local\FrameworX\{Project name}orC:\User\Public\Documents\Emmerson\PME\SecurWORX\Local\FrameworX\{Project name}.
If the working directory cannot be found under one of the paths mentioned, you can search for it with the file extension .SwxCF.
Some other files must not be copied with the SwxCF file and must remain in the central repository to avoid errors.
If an Emerson PAC Machine Edition project has been exported from the editor to a ZIP archive, the project cannot be inserted directly into octoplant. First, the project must be restored in the archive using the Emerson PAC Machine Edition editor. Then copy the project file (SwxCF) into a component created for this purpose, as described in steps 1 - 4 above.
The Emerson PAC Machine Edition project is now integrated and can be managed and versioned.
Changes to the project are only visible in octoplant after the editor has been closed.
