Figure 19: Application MC Mapping File Locations.
1
The ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file is deployed to the B:\FIN folder of the
target field panel. Once Application MC has been deployed, you can remove
the USB (
B:) drive from the field panel and connect it to the computer. When
finished with modifications, the USB drive can be removed from the computer
and returned to the field panel.
2
The BACKUP folder contains a Default_ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file, which
is provided in case you must return to the last “Deployed” version of the
mapping file.
3
If you modify the mapping file and then deploy a newer version of Application
MC, the BACKUP folder will also contain a
LastValidated_ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file. This file is provided in case you
need to return to the last validated copy of the “Merged” file.
Each time Application MC is deployed, the deployed mapping file is merged
with the existing mapping file. This merges any new XML elements included
with the new deployment into the existing mapping file. New elements are
always inserted after any existing elements so that any modifications you have
made are preserved.
Modifying the Application MC Mapping File
When customizing the Application MC mapping file, you may need to use a
combination of the procedures in this section to achieve all the desired customizations.
Program Required
The procedures in this section require a text editor or XML editor. Siemens Industry,
Inc. suggests Notepad++ , which is widely available on the Web.
NOTE:
Some XML editors automatically sort properties. This will not adversely affect your
modifications, however the examples in the following sections may show the
properties ordered differently than in the editor you are using. All examples in this
guide were captured while using Notepad++.
