The reason I am asking this is perhaps you develop an OS project on your workstation in the office and you want to walk in to the customer with a stick drive and copy the files and execute some scripts and all done. Or under a different scenario you send via email a project update to the customer and have him update the project on the target OS without having the ES station connected. Not mentioning that even if you bring your laptop (ES) at the customer site sometimes it’s painful to have accommodated in the customer environment (IP addresses, domain & security policies etc). It would be nice to have an option to “download offline” and have created an installer package that can be deployed easy on the target OS. It seems that start with WinCC 6 SP4 there is a download log file (LOAD.LOG)besides the compile log file (TRANSFER.LOG). Unfortunately there are not many details on this log file. Thanks, Dec

You might want to take a look at some of the other posts. The Wincc V6.0 DataBasecontains a lot of info and suggestions. I believe that the procedure involved is that when you enable Online Changes, all changes you make to pictures, tags, alarms, archives, etc. are audited and recorded. When you then do a Download it applies the recorded changes on the target machine. Sorry but I don't know anymore about this way. If you didn't want to use the Download option you would find that pictures and scripts are simply files so you can easily copy them to the target machine, recompile scripts and hey presto, the changes are seen. Changes to the configuration database are a lot trickier. These are changes to tags, alarms and archives. You cannot simply overwrite the configuration database. In this case Download Changes is a life saver.
