The safest way (not the easiest way) is to restore the tape to a system drive and get the control processor on line and than make the save_all. This would require the whole set of hardware (AP or AW and nodebus and control station.) If, however, a save_all automation utility was used. The save_all's may be on the harddisk in a usable format. Typically I would expect them to be in the /opt partition (more room there) in a directory samed savealls, save_all, SAVEALLS or something like that (unless someone is really trying to make it hard to find of course). You could contact the site admin to find out if and where they are stored. If you do use the save_alls from the harddisk, don't forget the (hidden) .CompoundDir file to make sure the compounds are loaded in the same sequence. If you do not have a save_all script, there are some available on the Cassandra - and related sites. Good luck and Regards Ron Deen Senior System Service Specialist Invensys Systems N.V.

But i have the latest dump tapes collected a couple of days ago. Currently, a particular area in my client site is working with a CP communicating via FBC. We are in the process of changing all the signals that are routed through FBC to Din mounted FBMs. MY PROBLEM Since im not in a position to collect the saveall for that CP from their site, i have to use the existing dump tapes to collect the content of that CP. Can anyone kindly suggest me, if there is any way or any procedure to recover the content of a particular CP from the dump that i have collected. Thank in advance, warm regards, gopi ___________________________________________________________________ This list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by The Foxboro Company.
