Hi everyone,
I need to change an old 316-2DP processor for a 317,I've been investigating for the last few days the best method in which i can restore the online DB Data from the 316 to the replacement 317 after installation.
My usual method is to blockmove all presets in ob100 on start,however in this case all process data even in instance DB's is wrote from a PC.
To add to my woes the PC application is no more, basically it's a custom VB project with a runtime licence tied to the hard disk which has failed, We never had the project file and the company went under last year. We restored an image to a replacement harddisk but its a no go.
I will be replacing this with WinCC Flexible 2008, however the only window i have to change the CPU is this week.
Looking at these old threads:

If i did highlight the DB's online and uploaded to pg,would this guarantee correct values in the new cpu once downloaded?
My other option is Wincc Flex storage scripts for each DB, but that would be time consuming so a quicker route would be preferable.
Thanks in advance for any help
