User deletion on download.

Post by jydepower »

Hallo.

We are just finishing a project, where we use a PC based run-time. Project is created with newest ix developer version.

In the beginning i added 2 users in ix developer. Admin and a test operator name as a normal user.
So when we really wanted to start using the system. The admin of course want to delete this test name.
I find its not possible for him to delete any user, that was created inside the program. He can only delete users that was created in run-time.
So i decide to delete the test user, and only have admin added, when i download the final version.
He then adds all employees and everything seems ok.

A few days later he calls me, and tells me all the users he added are gone. When i look into the problem, i find that the Security.xml file is overwritten with the original one, when i later had downloaded the program again after small graphical change.

Is this the case?
How to get around it, without having to backup up the .xml file manually with remote desktop?

Normally when you download a new program to the unit using iX Developer, it will ask you whether or not you want to over right certain files. How are you downloading the project to the unit? Are you doing it over Ethernet?

There is also a iX Developer setting where you can tell the unit to not over-right any of the files that might have been updated during runtime.
