Re: [foxboro] CP UPLOADS

Hi all,

May I suggest to have a look at the save_all script?

It will allow save_Alls (duh) but has a nice feature that will allow you to do 
uploads prior to a save_all.
Please note this is currently ICC only but still does the job regardsless of 
the platform you use. The only doubt I have is FDSI for the moment as we have 
not tested those.
The save_all script will take care to check for available space and do all the 
admin work for you (like discover newly installed CP', GW's etc and create 
all directories in the backup area.

The manual and the script can be found here : 
http://home.hccnet.nl/r.deen/invensys/invensys_main.html but it is also 
hosted on Cassandra.

The save_all.sh script takes at least one command line switch. What they mean 
and what they do is explained here:
all
Creates a save_all for all stations and volumes on the system. By default the 
script will maintain 10 backups of all stations and volumes. 
Example:        save_all.sh all<cr>.
local
Creates a save_all for all stations and volumes for this host only. By default 
the script will maintain 10 backups. On I/A 70 Series this switch gets you 
the same results as the all switch above.
Example:        save_all.sh local<cr>.
-u
Perform an upload of the Control Database. This is the same function as found 
in the Control Configurator when doing an upload from the Maint menu pick. 
This parameter requires at least one other parameter selecting Control 
Stations or Hosts.
Example:        save_all.sh –u all<cr>.
-s string [string]
Make a save_all for all stations and volumes matching string. This can be a 
letterbug but also just a part of a letterbug which the desired stations have 
in common. You can put more than one string on the command line.
Example:        save_all.sh -s ACU CTL CP60<cr> 
will select all stations that contain ACU, CTL or CP60 in their letterbug/name 
for all hosts.
A little trick can be to do “–s ‘cat /opt/mystations’“ to use a list of 
stations to process.
-h string [string]
The same function as the –s option but this time it is for hosts selection. 
Example:        save_all.sh –h AW5101 AP00<cr> 
will make a save_all for all stations and volumes hosted by AW5101 and all 
other hosts matching AP00.
-b number
This switch will make the script to maintain “number” backups. This parameter 
requires at least one other parameter selecting Control Stations or Hosts.
Example:        save_all.sh all –b 45<cr> 
will make the script maintain 45 backups for every station and volume on the 
system.
Combinations of these parameters are supported for example:

1AWB11# save_all.sh –s 30 vol –h AW5011 –u –b 50<cr>

To make a save_all for all stations containing “30” and/or “vol” in their name 
on the host “AW5011”, perform an “upload” and “maintain 50 backups”.

Note for I/A 70 Series based hosts:
The Foxboro I/A 70 Series platform will not allow remote save_alls and as a 
result you must (when having more that one I/A 70 Series station hosting 
Control stations) install and run the save_all.sh script on every I/A 70 
Series host.
