Content step

 NOTE: This wizard step is skipped if the source station consists of only a config.bog file. 

After the “name step” and possibly the “delete step”, you are prompted to indicate the station files to copy, with the default selection being “all” files and folders under that station directory, as shown here.

 NOTE: When copying from Workbench to a remote platform, not all types of files can be transferred. For example, the copier does not allow alarm and history data to be transferred. This is true even if you choose the option to “Copy every file in the station directory and its subdirectories”. And if you choose the option to “Copy files from selected directories”, it does not allow you to select any alarm or history folder or subfolder. If you need to include such data, then perform a backup/restore operation instead (i.e., backup the station to a *.dist file) making sure to edit default backup settings to NOT exclude alarms/history data.  

The three possible selections are:

  • Copy files from selected directories (not shown if source station has no subdirectories).

    If you select this, a later “Details step” allows you to select the source subdirectories.

  • Copy every file in the station directory and its subdirectories.
  • Copy only the “config.bog” station database file.

The next step is the “Disposition step”.
