496 R400
Notes
• To run bckbld, the database must be loaded, but the server software can be
running or not running.
• Quick Builder cannot upload a file created with the -ns option because it
has history, trend, and group point build lines at the bottom of the file.
Quick Builder requires all point build lines related to a point to be grouped
together. If you want to upload the file, do not specify an option, or specify
the -gp option.
• If more than 500 points are being built at the same time, bckbld may take a
long time to sort the file. You can use the -ns (no-sort) or -gp (partial-sort)
option to speed up the process.
• If you did not specify a PVSOURCE, the point will not be backbuilt in an rtu
when using: bckbld -rtu -out tmp.pnt. To pick up the point use:
bckbld -out tmp.pnt.
Example
This example saves the point definitions for all points in a file called
point.txt.
bckbld -out point.txt
