Re: [foxboro] CP UPLOADS

UPLOAD will update the Workfile only. If using ICC, that is all you need.

However, if using IACC, you will have mismatches between the "IACC db" and the 
"Workfile", because Upload doesn't update the IACC db.

Jim,

Yes, you can use iccapi to perform the UPLOAD function.  Do it manually so you 
get success. Pick a CP with a small database as UPLOAD can take hours for a 
large CP60 database.

After you have done it successfully then you can try a script file (unix) or 
batch file (Windoze). I used a batch (script) file to execute the code and an 
import file for my ICCAPI instructions and it worked much easier.

After you manually run your script files successfully, then schedule them with 
crontab (unix) or Task Scheduler (Windoze). In windoze, set the user as 
Administrator or your screen will get a pop-up Command window.

You need to seriously consider the length of time that it will take to perform 
an UPLOAD for each of your CP's and the risk with automating that function. 
Once it starts, you cannot use the ICC on that CP until UPLOAD is complete.

You can go back through archives on this freelist to see many well written 
discussions on UPLOAD. I know many users who do not automate UPLOAD due to the 
long duration. They automate saveall (to hard drive) and checkpoint as these 
two functions are very fast to complete.

Anyone know if there is a way to automate CP Uploads.
