Saving Datablocks Created in Database Manager

to the Configuration File

Creating a datablock with Database Manager only adds the datablock to the run-time

configuration, not to the driver configuration file.

To save the datablock to the configuration file, you can

• Save the configuration file in the Power Tool at any time while FIX/iFIX is

running by clicking the Save button.

• Save the datablock automatically to the configuration file when you shut down

FIX or iFIX. To do this, select an item in the Tree Browser and press Alt +

Shift + S. When the Server window appears, select Save on FIX Exit from the

Server menu.
