## Administrative Functions

You can manage a configuration, read out the data from a connected system and save the configuration data in the database. It is also possible to prepare a configuration offline, submit the configuration to the system later on and to compare an offline configuration with an online configuration.

Note

You cannot read out the configuration data if the system is offline. If you want to use the administrative functions, you must connect to an online system first.

Please note that you will always have to work with two system configurations:

- the “real” online configuration of the current system and
- the “virtual” offline configuration stored in the database.

### To open the Administrative Functions dialog:

- In the System Selection dialog, select a system in the System list or create a new system.
- If the selected system is not online yet, mark the “create system” radio button and click on Submit.
- Click on your system’s name in the directory tree on the left to open the system pop-up menu.
- Select “Admin.” to open a dialog with the name of the system, its current status and several buttons for all available administrative functions.

Note

The option “Admin.” is only available if you are connected to an online system.

### Available functions

Function | Description
Compare | To compare the system’s online configuration data with the system configuration stored in the database.
Transfer to the System | To transfer the configuration data from the database to the system.
Transfer to the database | To save the configuration data of the online system to the database. If the system data has not been loaded yet, BMS will load the system configuration first to save it in the database. .
Load | When BMS connects to a system, the configuration data of this system is loaded. This process can take a while, but runs with low priority. This way you can start to work with the system before the background loading is completed. If the loading process fails or if you interrupt the process, use this function to resume the loading of the system configuration.
Cancel | To cancel an ongoing system process (e.g. background load, load, transfer to the system, transfer to the database, software/firmware upgrade).
