Issue
Are there any special concerns I should have with respect to making changes in Menta applications on my installations?
Environment
- Menta programming
- Vista database
Cause
After a Menta application is downloaded to a controller, the file is imported into the Vista database. The file also typically remains on the technicians laptop. If the technician makes a change and downloads a new load to the controller but does not update Vista problems will occur.
Resolution
It is good practice to let Vista be the file cabinet. When a change is required, export the application from Vista, make the changes, download to the controller and then re-import to Vista. This will keep your field environment in concert with the operator interface.
