Creating jobs for PHOENIX CONTACT FL switches¶

1. Start the AdminClient.
2. Open the Jobs module.
3. Select a Phoenix FL Switch component in the Project tree.

4. Create a Job with the upload type Switches and configure the general sections General and Upload compare.

   Info

   Under Upload and compare, select Previous Backup <-> Backup under Compare policy, if no project data has been versioned in the component.

5. Configure the Switch settings section.

   1. Under Device, enter the IP address or the name of the device to be accessed by the job.
   2. Under User, enter the user name under which the device is to be accessed.
   3. Under Password, enter the password for the user name entered.
   4. Under Type, select Phoenix Contact (WBM).
   5. Enter the name for Name of the configuration file.
   6. Activate the Use https and With snapshot checkboxes if required.

6. Configure the File specifications and compare settings settings section.

   Info

   This prevents differences from being detected due to current values for each job execution. The comparator can only be configured if project data has been versioned in the associated component. To prevent differences from being detected each time a job is executed, the current values *.ctx and *.tar.gz must be excluded from the comparison.

   

   1. Select the Enable custom configuration for this job checkbox and click Edit, if you want to customize the comparator configuration for this job.

   2. Use the Add and Remove buttons to customize the Compare these files and Ignore these files during the comparison tables.

      Info

      It is possible to use wildcards. For example, the entry *.cfg affects all files with the file extension *.cfg.

   3. In the table Compare these files, select the desired comparison from the dropdown list by clicking on the corresponding field.

   4. In both tables, click on the corresponding field to select whether the entry in this line should also apply to files in subdirectories.

   5. Click on the Configure comparator button to make further settings for the selected comparator.

      Info

      This option is not available for all comparators.

   6. Specify whether changes should be detected using the By timestamp or the Checksum.

   7. Under storage settings under Ignore empty directories, specify whether empty directories on the device should be saved in the backup.

   8. Under Compression factor:, select the compression factor for the backup.

      Info

      Lower compression factors require less time to compress the backup. However, more storage space is used on the server.

   9. Close the dialog with OK.

7. Save the Job and execute it.
