Importing the APOGEE BACnet Database
- System Manager is in Engineering mode.
- You have copied the exported database files to the computer running the Desigo CC server. It is recommended that you create a file location/folder name such as ApogeeDB.
- You have created a BACnet network in the Management View for each ALN in the APOGEE Automation System.
- (Optional) You have created a logical view in Desigo CC to map to an imported logical view.
- In System Browser, select Management View.
- Select Project > Field Networks.
- Select the network where you will import the database.
- In the Primary pane, click the Import tab.
- Click the Browse button.
- In the Open dialog box, navigate to the directory containing the database.
- Select the appropriate .xml file, and then click Open.
- (Optional) From System Browser, do the following:
- Select the Manual Navigation check box.
- Drag any pre-configured node you created in the logical view to the Hierarchies Mapping section.
- The node is now an available option for the next step.
- In the Hierarchies Mapping section, select the option that applies to this import.
- In the Source Items list, select all of the items in the list by clicking Move all items .
NOTE: You should import everything in the list because of device and object interdependencies. If you don’t, you might encounter issues such as devices on your network not communicating properly.
- Click Import.
- The import procedure starts. When completed, the Import dialog box displays.
- If you want to view details of the import, click Open Log. Otherwise, click OK.
