A user-supplied project can be placed into the common application directory on the server and named "project.opf" or "project.xml". When the Runtime is started or reinitialized, the following will occur:

1. A backup will be created of the existing "default.opf" file when Project Backups are enabled. To access this setting, right-click on the Administration icon located in the System Tray and select Settings. Then, open the Runtime Options tab.
2. The user-supplied project will be saved as the new Runtime project.
3. Upon successful Runtime project replacement, the user-supplied file will be deleted.

Note: The Runtime project will not be replaced when a configuration client with write permissions is connected to the Runtime or when the Runtime demo has expired.

Common Application Directory examples are as follows:

• Vista: C:\ProgramData\Kepware\KEPServerEX\V5
• XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kepware\KEPServerEX\V5

A batch file example is as follows:

cd\

cd Programs Files\Kepware\KEPServerEX 5

net stop "KEPServerEXV5"

REM: cd\ (LOCATION OF PROJECT TO PLACE INTO RUNTIME)\project

copy C:\project.opf C:\ProgramData\Kepware\KEPServerEX\V5\*.*

net start "KEPServerEXV5"
