## Import RASC File

You can import RASC configuration data to use it in BMS. There are two possibilities:

- Systems R8 - R10.

- Although you can import the configuration data, you cannot use the data in offline mode. When you load the system data in offline mode, all functions are disabled. In the Configuration directory tree, only the menu options “Boards” and “Maintenance” are available.
- You can only view the hardware configuration and connect to an online system, but you cannot modify the hardware configuration. If you need to change the hardware configuration, do this in RASC and then import the file again. If you import a file from an earlier version than R11, a warning message will appear: “Unsupported programming model. You cannot modify this system offline. Use it to connect and transfer the data to the exchange.”

- System R11 and higher.

- You can import the configuration data and use the imported data like any system that has been created with BMS.

#### Actions

Browse |  | To select a RASC file on the local hard disk and to import the file to the BMS server. |
Submit File |  | To start the RASC file import. |

#### To import a RASC file

- In the System Selection dialog, mark the Import RASC BACKUP File radio button.
- Enter a name for the new system in the field System Name.

Note

If you do not enter a name, the name of the RASC file will be used as system name. If you enter the name of a system that already exists, a new configuration version of this system will be created. If a system with the entered name does not exist, a new system will be created.

- Click on Submit. This will open the Import RASC File dialog. If a name for the imported system has been entered, the name will appear in the window title. If no system name has been entered, the text “Using the file name as system name” is displayed. This means that a system will be created with the name of the imported file (without the file extension).
- Enter the file name and the path in the appropriate field or click on Browse to select a file on the local hard disk for import.

Note

You can only import files with the file extension “.K?”. This is the ending for RASC configuration files.

- After selecting the file, click on Submit. The file will be imported.
- If the RASC file import has been successful, the following message is displayed: “System successfully imported from file (file name): (system name)”.
- If the import failed, you will receive an error message, including the reason why the import failed.
