Con guration
 

Using an existing con guration le

The DA Server con guration (.aacfg) les are stored in the speci c location depending on the version of the DA
Server that is installed. The following locations are for the associated Operating Systems below:

Windows XP \ Server 2003

New Version

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Wonderware\DAServer\DASABCIP

Older Version(s)

C:\Program Files\Wonderware\DAServer\DASABCIP\Bin

Windows 7 \ Server 2008

New Version

C:\ProgramData\Wonderware\DAServer\DASABCIP

Older Version(s)

C:\Users\All Users\Wonderware\DAServer\DASABCIP

If you already have an existing system with the same con guration you wish to use, simply copy the
DASABCIP.aacfg le from the working machine to the equivalent location on the new machine. If your new
con guration is named something other than DASABCIP.aacfg you will need to switch to the new con guration
by right clicking the con guration under the DASABCIP and then choosing “Use Another Con guration Set” and
selecting the appropriate con guration le. If the DA Server is activated it will need to be de-activated before
you can switch to another con guration.
