LibraryManagement – Comparator settings

A user who has the necessary access rights and system knowledge can configure the comparator settings for LibraryManagement. The following options are available:

1. Compare CFC files

You can configure versiondog to compare CFC files either by content (StdLib == CustStdLib) or by name (name in StdLib == name of predecessor in CustStdLib). These settings are configured using an INI file. The name of the file is Classes.ini. This file is located under

<vdServerArchive>VD$AConfigurationCompare.

In the section [SimaticS7] of the file Classes.ini the key 7167 must be assigned the appropriate value. The following applies:

• 7167=Y: CFCs are compared by Name
• 7167=N: CFCs are compared by Content (default setting)

To compare CFCs by name, proceed as follows:

1. Go to the AdminClient.
2. Select the menu INI files. The dialog Edit ini file will appear.
3. Select the file CompareClasses.ini.
4. Click on Edit.
5. Find the section [SimaticS7]. If this section is not present in the INI file, create it at the end of the file.
6. Set the key 7167=Y.
7. Save the file.

Example:

1.[SimaticS7 ] 1.7167= Y

2. Ignore blocks when running a comparison

You can configure versiondog to ignore blocks generated by the SCL compiler when running a comparison in versiondogLibraryManagement. These settings are configured via an INI file. The name of the file is Classes.ini. This file is located under

<vdServerArchive>VD$AConfigurationCompare.

In the section [SimaticS7] of the file Classes.ini the key 36802 must be assigned the appropriate value. The following applies:

• 36802=Y: The blocks are ignored when running a comparison in LibraryManagement.
• 36802=N: The blocks are not ignored when running a comparison in LibraryManagement (default setting).

To configure the INI file, see the section Compare CFC files located above. Example:

1.[SimaticS7 ] 1.36802= Y
