Get Project Dialog Box
The Get Project dialog box displays the following items:
Select Project
Select a project name from the drop-down list. The names in this list represent iFIX project names that you can retrieve from the Change Management Server.
Project Destination
The path that the project was last checked in with. Change this path if it is the same as your local iFIX path.
IMPORTANT: Do not get a project directly into your local iFIX path. Doing so copies over your existing iFIX files, which may create problems the next time you start iFIX. If you try to get a project to your local iFIX path, an error message appears.
TIP: If you later want to start iFIX with the SCU associated with this project, open the SCU, and modify the path configuration (the base and NLS paths should point to the local install, while the project path should point to folder you copied the files to). You also should modify the startup tasks, network configuration, SQL tasks, and local startup definition so that the appropriate paths point to the local iFIX install. Save the SCU and restart iFIX to start iFIX with this new SCU.

Delete all existing files under Project Destination |
Select this check box to delete all existing files in the path you specify, and replace them with the ones in this project. If you select this check box, it is strongly recommended that you select the Initialize Project Destination with iFIX Default Files check box. |
|
Initialize Project Destination with iFIX default files |
Select this check box to restore your iFIX files to the factory default settings before retrieving the iFIX files from this project. If you do not select this check box, you can get the files, but you will not be able to run them in iFIX. Selecting this check box helps your project to run properly if the path is different from the default one listed when you select the project. It is highly recommended that you leave this check box selected. |
SCU File
Shows the SCU name of the currently selected project. If you change the project destination, be sure to take note of this name; you will need to locate it in the SCU to update it.
Base Path
Shows the base path of the currently selected project. This is the main iFIX folder. Other iFIX folders are usually subdirectories of the base path.
If you change the project destination, be sure to take note of this path; you will need to change base path in the SCU to the local base path.
Project Path
Shows the project path of the currently selected project. This path includes project specific application files, such as pictures, databases, and tag groups. The default value for the Project Path is the base path.
If you change the project destination, be sure to take note of this path; you will need to change the project path in the SCU to the destination path.
