278 Exporting and Importing Networks with XML
Input File Name Specifies the name of the XML file to import.
Log File Name Specifies the name of the output XML log file that is generated
during the XML import. This log lists the objects created, modified,
or deleted, and any errors encountered. The default name is
C:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\OpenLnsCt\XML\
network\Export[ _version ]Log.xml.
If this field is clear, an XML log file is not created.
3. Click OK. The OpenLNS CT XML Import Status window displaying the report status opens,
and OpenLNS CT imports the XML file. You can click Cancel to stop the XML import. When
“Import complete” opens, click OK to close the window.
Tips:
• If you are making changes that affect the OpenLNS CT drawing, set the OpenLNS CT event log
limit high enough to hold all of the events that may be generated by the XML file import. You
can set the maximum number of log entries in the Network Properties: Synchronization options
category (see Appendix A for more information on this option). Alternatively, in the
<L
ONWORKSNetwork> section of the XML file, you can insert the limit between a pair of
EventLimit tags, using the following format: <EventLimit>n</EventLimit>, where n is the
maximum number of log entries saved per drawing file.
• To reduce the time required to import a L
ONWORKS network XML file, do the following: remove
entries from the L
ONWORKS network XML file that do not need to be updated before importing
the network (especially collections of objects); import the XML file with OpenLNS CT OffNet;
close any remote applications if you are importing a large amount of data.
