Import/Export problems

In PackOS besides adding problems manually we've got the possibility to import them from a prepared csv file. This allows you to speed up your configuration work with machines.

Schema:

WorkStateName (required)

Name (required)

RuleType
(optional, 3.14+)

RuleBody (can be empty)

RulePriority (can be empty)

IsDefault (true/false)

Example:

Column name	Type/values	Description

Column name	Type/values	Description
WorkStateName	One of: work, off, nolivedata, failure, idle, lack, holdup, inactive, stop, changeover	Required
Name	text	Required
RuleType	One of: event, csharp-event, csharp-event-timed,	Optional column Optional value In version: 3.14 and later Default: event Determines a format of the RuleBody: event - PackOS rule format (State Rules in Working with signals and rules ). Default value. csharp-event - Rule expressed as a C# expression (Advanced Format in Working with signals and rules). csharp-event-timed - C# rule which is time-dependent.
RuleBody	text	PackOS rule or C# expression as determined by RuleType. See above links. If there are multiple rows with the same Name and different RuleBody a single Problem will be created or updated and each listed rule will be added to the Problem
RulePriority	number (integer)
IsDefault	true/false

Normal usage:
1. Export problems

2. Based on exported file, change or add The problem file (one or more records)

3. Import the new file

4. Import problems are being added

System will recognize if the problem exists already (then it will present an “updated“ message and replace the old data) or if it’s the new one, will add it to the direct problem list.
