Security update 1 changes to Station Copier usage (AX38U1)

In the 2013 NiagaraAX update releases (e.g. AX-3.7U1), station password storage changed to become much more secure. Now, in some cases you may need to edit a saved station database (config.bog file) before installing it (copying it) to a remote platform using the Station Copier.

NOTE: For any station copied from a host running AX-3.8, config.bog file edits are unnecessary. Such files are saved in a more "portable format" than when using an 2013 update release. Therefore, the following sections apply to hosts running 2013 "update releases" only.

For more details on the changed password storage in the 2013 "update 1" releases (e.g. AX-3.7U1), as well as additional AX-3.8 changes, refer to the document NiagaraAX 2013 Security Updates. Included is information regarding system upgrades and usage of the platform Distribution File Installer, as well as details related to the platform Station Copier.
