Your Workbench PC records “before and after” TCP/IP settings made from Niagara platform connections in an ipchanges.bog file. If necessary, you can review changes from Workbench using the following procedure.
To review TCP/IP changes made from your Workbench PC
From your PC with Workbench started, do the following:
-
In the Nav tree, expand “
My Host” and then “My File System.” -
Expand “
Sys Home” and then “users.” -
Expand your user folder, then expand “
ipchanges.bog.”Child folders are “date-named” using the following convention:
dfor example, “<yyyymmddhhmmss>d20041220171000” for 2004 Dec 20 5:10pm -
Expand any folder of interest. Underneath each folder are two objects:
-
priorValue — TCP/IP settings that existed before this change.
-
newValue — TCP/IP settings that existed after this change.
-
-
Double-click a priorValue or newValue to see settings in the “Tcp Ip Host Editor” (see Figure 33).
If you have a platform connection open (to any host), you can also review the history of any IP changes (made by your Workbench) from its TCP/IP Configuration view. Click the “” button. This shows your ipChanges.bog folder and all child change entries. Expand a change folder to see a decoded “modTime” value, for example, “19-Dec-2004 09:50 PM” (vs. "d20041219215002"). Double-click a “priorValue” or “newValue” in the view to see the settings in the “Tcp Ip Host Editor.”
