Defines the paths to the storage locations relevant for the plant data and drawings. The paths for the plant structure and backup location must use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format and cannot exceed 255 characters. An asterisk (*) at the end of an item name indicates a value is required for that item.
Plant structure path
Specify the path to the storage location for the plant data and the drawing files. You must create the plant structure share before running this wizard, using the form \\siteserver\sitename\plantname. The wizard will create the 'plantname' folder if it does not already exist.
Backup location
Specify the path to the shared storage folder for backing up the plant files.
Seed location
Specify the location of your plant scripts and resources, which are required for successful loading of the plant. The default seed location is the Smart Engineering Manager home folder.
Save seed location as the preferred setting
Select to make the current seed location your default setting.
-
Specify a backup location outside the Plant structure path to avoid recursive backups being stored in a single backup file. For example, if the Plant structure path is \\siteserver\sitename\plantname, do not set the backup location for plantname to \\siteserver\sitename\plantname\backups.
-
Be sure the backup location has plenty of available space because the restore process generates a temporary folder in this backup location while the plant data is being restored. This folder is removed when the process finishes.
-
Location paths cannot contain any of the following characters: ~ ` ! % * ( ) { } [ ] / ; : ' " < > , ? |
