Issue
A stand alone Xbuilder project was already started and now needs to be converted to a Xenta Server in the Vista database.
Environment
Vista Server 4.5.0/5.x.x
Xbuilder 4.5.0/5.x.x
Cause
The Xbuilder project can be saved to the Vista database, but if there is a LON network in the Xbuilder project it will be replaced by the LON network defined in the Vista database. This is necessary to ensure that the devices are commissioned and addressed to be compatible with the Xenta Server.
If this network has not been created yet in the Vista database then create the network, groups, and controllers first. Try to match as much of the names as possible to allow existing references in the Xbuilder project to be preserved. Any changes in the paths will require relinking your graphics, alarms, trends, etc.
Resolution
- Open the stand alone Xbuilder project
- Select the Vista Database\ Save as option
- Select an existing Xenta Server object or create a new one in the Select window and click Select.
-
Click "OK" and the network will be replaced by the one in the Vista database.
