HENRI Posts: 14 Rating: (0)	We are trying to archive our multiproject the project is about 8GB big. When we try to archive it with pcs7 we get an error 304.I think this means that the pkzip cannot archive the amount of data. Is there another solution for example installing winzip? With Kind regards Henri

Another solution is to integrate PKZip 9.0 into Simatic Manager. PKZIP 9.0 has been tested together with PCs 7 V7.0 and should also work with V6.x projects. Consider thatPKZIP 9.0 is not a freeware!!! To Integrate PKZIP V9.0 into Simatic Manager do the following: 1. Install PKZIP V9.0 2. Simatic Manager -> Options -> Customize -> Archiving -> Configuring 3. change Program path to the new pkzipc.exe in PKZIP V9.0 installation folder

Before archiving the project I recommend to do the procedure which you can find at the support site under entry id 17853608. This will delete the runtime data of WinCC.

Hi zjj7070, simple answer in general: WinRar has not been tested together with PCS 7. On technical point of view: Any third party zipper can be used in a wrong way by user error. This could lead to loss of project data or even corruption of the whole project. When integrated in Simatic Manager, the archive program will be called with the correct command line parameters supplied by Simatic Manager. Just consider following examples: 1. Third party software can be configured to store absolute paths in some cases. After unzipping your project you might not able to operate on multiprojects 2. Third party software can be configured to ignore some kind of error. Then you will not be informed if anything went wrong.

HENRI Posts: 14 Rating: (0)	Thanks for the reaction, it is a long time ago that i posted this question, in th mean time i bought pkzip the last version and i installed it. But when i'm trying to archive the project i get an error from pkzip that he can't open the archive file. So i checked all the options in pkzip90 acoording to the pcs7 diagnostic manual. but still no succes. We are using pcs7 6.1 sp1 with cemat v6 sp2. do you have any ideas. with kind regards Henri Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, And the life of the candle will not be shortened.

In NTFS you don't have this limit or you can try to create file in different volumes (winRar options). Best reguards
