Issue
Site has existing CX/bCX with many i2s/b3s on field bus that need to be moved to a different CX/bCX, want to create a dump file from the existing CX/bCX that can then be imported into the new CX/bCX to create the devices and then do a 'Send to database' from the devices once they are online in the new CX/bCX.

Resolution
- In the Continuum Explorer expand the existing CX/bCX then click on the InfinityInfinetCtlr folder.
- Pull down the 'Options' menu and set the 'Send To Text File Options' to DO NOT DUMP CHILD OBJECTS
- Select ALL the field devices on the right pane, right click and perform a 'Send to Text File' operation
The resultant .dmp file when imported into the new CX/bCX will create all the field devices using the same names and ids they had in the old CX/bCX
NOTE:
The file may have to be edited to match the Network/Controller name.
