Getting a Different iFIX Project from the Change Management Server

To get a different iFIX project from the Change Management Server:

  1. From the iFIX WorkSpace system tree, right-click the node name, point to Manage, and then click Get Other Project. The Get Project dialog box appears.

NOTE: The Manage right-click menu is unavailable if you are not logged into the Change Management Server from iFIX.

  1. In the Select Project drop-down list, select a project name.
  2. In the Project Destination field, if the path is the same as your local iFIX install, enter a different path. By doing this, you prevent the get command from overwriting your current iFIX project files.
    By default, the path in the Project Destination field is set to the path that the project was last checked in with.
  3. If you want to delete any existing files before you get the project files, select the Delete all existing files under Project Destination check box.
  4. If you want to copy iFIX default files into the folder before retrieving the project, select the Initialize Project Destination with iFIX default Files check box. It is recommended that you leave this check box selected. Otherwise, you will not be able to run the project you get in iFIX.
  5. Click Get. A status box appears as the iFIX project files are copied to your local computer.
  6. If you want to start iFIX using the SCU from the project you just got, follow the steps below.

To start iFIX with that project's SCU:

NOTE: These steps start iFIX with an SCU from a different path (a path outside the install path).

  1. Shut down iFIX.
  2. On the Start menu, point to Programs, iFIX, and then System Configuration to open the SCU. The SCU window appears.
  3. From the SCU Configure menu, click Paths. The Paths Configuration dialog box appears.
  4. In the Path Configuration dialog box, change the base path and NLS path to point to the local install path. Change the project path to point to the project destination folder, if it does not already do so.
  5. From the SCU Configure menu, click Tasks. The Tasks Configuration dialog box appears.
  6. In the Task Configuration dialog box, change the path of the configured tasks to the local install path, make sure that you include the same command line options.
  7. From the SCU Configure menu, click Network. The Network Configuration dialog box appears.
  8. In the Network Configuration dialog box, confirm the information is correct and make changes if necessary.
  9. From the SCU Configure menu, click SQL, and then click Configure SQL Tasks. The SQL Task Configuration dialog box appears.
  10. In the SQL Task Configuration dialog box, make sure that the Primary and Secondary paths are correct, if used.
  11. From the SCU Configure menu, click Local Startup Paths. The Local Startup Definition dialog box appears.
  12. In the Local Startup Definition dialog box, change the path to the folder you copied the project to with the get command.
  13. From the SCU File menu, click Save.
  14. Restart iFIX.
