Transfer Project Data
- Overview
  Use the Project Deployment Tool to bundle and deploy Web HMI project data from one node to another. This tool is particularly useful when moving from a test to a production environment.
- iFIX Prerequisites
  When you have set Web HMI to connect with an iFIX HMI/SCADA, use the GE HMI Server Configuration Manager in the target system to complete the following prerequisite tasks before proceeding.
- CIMPLICITY Prerequisites
  When you have configured Web HMI to connect with CIMPLICITY, complete the following prerequisite tasks in your target system before proceeding.
- Bundle the Project Data
  Create the bundle containing the project data to copy to the target.
- Copy the Project Data to the Target
  When the bundle is created, you must copy the <bundleName>.zip and serverAlias.txt files in the source node to the target node.
- Update the Server Alias File
  After you copy the serverAlias.txt file to the target node, you must update its original source server alias entries with the new target server alias names.
- Import the Workflow Project File
  When using a different Workflow server in the target environment, you can import the project file from the original source Workflow server.
- Deploy the Project Bundle
  Use the Project Deployment Tool to deploy the bundle containning the project data on the target node. When a bundle is deployed, it overwrites the data in the target node.
- Command-Line Options
  Use the Project Deployment Tool command-line options to bundle and deploy a Web HMI project to another node.

Copy the Project Data to the Target

When the bundle is created, you must copy the <bundleName>.zip and serverAlias.txt files in the source node to the target node.

Navigate to <Web HMI Install Location>\ProficyWebServer\Tools folder in the source node.
Copy the <bundleName>.zip and serverAlias.txt files to the <Web HMI Install Location>\ProficyWebServer\Tools folder in the target node.
