Emergency save
This feature is for connections opened by a configurator for the purpose of working on a configuration file through the host server. It supports and extends the client/host reconnect feature, giving you the option of performing an emergency save when the server connection is lost.
The Emergency Save feature does not compromise the current security and authentication models. You cannot work with a secured IDE or stand-alone GUI without authentication. With this feature, you cannot initiate the IDE or a stand-alone GUI in a disconnected mode. It can be used only in situations where the IDE or a stand-alone GUI was initiated in a connected mode and then lost its connection.
In situations where a reconnect is not possible, Emergency Save temporarily caches unsaved configuration data on the client side. In a later session the cached configuration data can be saved to the server.
The purpose of Emergency Save is to provide an emergency save procedure and not to provide a general client-side or back up process.
When a host server connection is lost, the Server Connection Lost dialog box opens, giving you the opportunity to cache unsaved data.
Clicking Emergency Save dialog box, where you select the data to temporarily save on the client.
opens theAn emergency save is possible only when the configurator has lost its connection to the host server.
After an emergency save, you are returned to the IDE or stand-alone GUI in a disconnected mode. The connection must be made before restoration can happen.
The Emergency Restore Wizard opens when a connection is made or restored and there is cached data to save to the connected host server. It lists the cached files and the current lock owner of the cached host server file, if any. It also gives you the opportunity to select the files to restore. Un-restored files are removed with the Emergency Restore Wizard, or left in the cache for restoration at a later time.
