Turning a APB file into a MER?

[Isra]

I'm very new to the PLC world, and was wondering if I could take an .apb file and turn it into a .mer file. Is this possible? And if so, how would it be done? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.

i opened factory talk view studio and went to online help.
type in import an application. i got lots of information.
i have never done this before, but my coworker has.

An .apb file is a Factorytalk View SE application backup.

An .mer file is a Factorytalk View ME runtime application file.

Unless i'm mixing up my application backup formats, this is not possible 'out of the box'.
