1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define a methodology for doing manual backups in
the ABB systems, Power Generation Portal (PGP) and Power Generation Information
Manager (PGIM).
<Backup and Restore procedures for PGP.doc> 1-1

Edición:
2. PGP CONFIGURATION BACKUP.
For a complete configuration backup, the following procedure must be followed in all
the nodes of the system (Clients, Principal and Redundant Servers, Principal and Re-
dundant Front-ends):
2.1. WINDOWS REGISTRY.
We must execute the application “regedit.exe” and navigate in the left tree to the
node “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\Power Generation Portal”.
Push the mouse left button or, using the menu option “File”, the option “Export”,
save the file generated in a convenient path. For restore purposes, and version control
it´s recommended to use an appropriate name for this path, for example:
Backup_PGP_NodeName_ddmmyyyy

Edición:
This dialog will appear:
In the File Name box you must introduce the name of the backup file. It’s recom-
mended to use an appropriate name for the file, for example:
Backup_PGP_Nodename_Registry_ddmmyyyy.reg
2.2. SYSTEM PARAMETERS.
A copy of the files in the folder “C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power

Generation Portal\deck” must be copied because them could contain some infor-
mation related to the project.
These files are:
Alias.xml, OpcPriority.xml
Files related to the OPC connection configuration, containing Alarm Priorities and Alias
Names of the connections.

Edición:
Battdeck.xml, Balmdeck.xml, PvLevelDef.xml

Alarm treatment configuration files.
Dbxrfdeck.xml
System cross references file.
It´s recomended to mantein a security copy of the original installed system files and mantein
the modified files actualized in the work folder:
C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power GenerationPor-

tal\config\deck”.
A compression utility like Winzip might be used in order to maintain all these files together.
For the original files the name recommended could be:
Backup_PGP_Nodename_Deck_Original_ddmmyyyy.zip

Edición:
2.3. DATA BASES
Execute the application “System Setup”

Edición:
Expand the tree “Export” and select the node “Unbuild All”. Push the button “Ex-
port” and wait the program finish the download of the files containing the databases
in the different work folders.
Alarm list builder

Node data base builder
User authorization data base builder
Report generator builder
Audible alarm builder
Pegboard builder
Text Selector builder
Trend group data base builder
Calculation data base builder
Tag data base builder
Alarm comment data base builder
E.U. Descriptor data base builder
Logic State Descriptor data base builder
Menu and toolbar builder
After this, we must copy the files inside the folder “C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial
IT\Power Generation Portal\config”

Edición:
Note. It´s recommended to maintain only one database file in the different subfolders of the
/config folder. So, old files must be deleted manually.
Backup_ PGP Nodename_Config_ddmmyyyy.zip
2.4. GRAPHICS AND ICONS.
A copy of the folder “C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power Generation

Portal\display\bin” must be done. This folder contain the system graphics compiled
files (screens, symbols and faceplates).
Backup_PGP_Nodename_DisplaysBin_ddmmyyyy.zip
The source code of these Graphics elements is contained in the folder configured by the regis-
try key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\Power Generation Por-
tal\Directories\Eix_work”
Backup _PGP_ Nodename_EixWork_ddmmyyyy.zip
A copy of the Scripts must be done. The file containing these scripts are located in the folder
configured by the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\Power Gener-
ation Portal\APPS\IbDisp\GlobalScriptFile”

Edición:
Backup_PGP_Nodename_GlobalScriptFile_ddmmyyyy.zip
Finally, a copy of the folder “C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power Gen-

eration Portal\icons” must be maintained. This folder contains the static bitmaps,
icons used in the project inside the screens, faceplates, menus, etc.
Backup_PGP_Nodename_Icons_ddmmyyyy.zip
All the files obtained in the steps above must be maintained together in a secure backup media
(CD, DVD). Also is recommended to maintain the files separated by node in a convenient
folder structure in the backup media, for example:

Edición:
2.5. PGP HISTORICAL FILES.
PGP can store some process information in the named short term storage. These data are
stored in the folder under the registry keys
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\Power Generation Por-
tal\Directories\HisBackup”
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABB\Power Generation
Portal\APPS\OneShotBckp\SavePath”
This is the output folder for the historical data backup generated by the application “One-
ShotBackup.exe”.
Backup_PGP_Nodename_Historical_ddmmyyyy.zip

Edición:
3. PGP SYSTEM RESTORE
3.1. WINDOWS REGISTRY.

Execute the application “regedit.exe”. In the menu File push the option Import.
A dialog will appear where we can select the registry file in our backup done in the
step 2.1 above:

Edición:
Push the button Open. This will import the registry keys stored before in the local
machine registry.
3.2. SYSTEM PARAMETERS.

Copy the files obtained in the step 2.2 above in the folder:
“C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power Generation Por-
tal\deck”:
These files are:

Alias.xml
OpcPriority.xml
PvLevelDef.xml
Battdeck.xml
Balmdeck.xml
Dbxrfdeck.xml
Note: It´s recommended to maintain the installation original files before copy these
files over.
Execute the application “System Setup” and load to the system the files using the dif-
ferent options “Build Data Base”
Battdeck.xml
Use the option “Color/Blink override table builder”, push the button “Im-
port” and select the appropriate file using the dialog that will appear.
Balmdeck.xml
Use the option “Alarm message builder”, push the button “Import” and se-
lect the file in the dialog.
Dbxrfdeck.xml

lect this file in the dialog.

Edición:
3.3. DATA BASES.
Copy the different subfolder obtained in the step 2.3 above under the folder “C:\Program
Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power Generation Portal\config”. These files are
the project database.
Execute the option System Setup and import individually each database, pushing the button
Import with each one:
Option Folder
Tag data base builder /tag
Trend group data base builder /group
Calculation data base builder /calc
User authorization data base builder /user
Report generator builder /report
Node data base builder /node
Logic State descriptor data base builder /lsd
E.U Descriptor data base builder /eu
Menu and toolbar builder /menu
Alarm list builder /almgr
Audible alarm builder /sound
Alarm comment database builder /alm
Pegboard builder /pegboard
Text selector data base builder /text
Other option, with the system stopped, is to select the node “Build All” and push the
button “Import”. Before this we must be sure that under each folder only exists one
version of the corresponding file.
3.4. GRAPHICS AND ICONS.
Copy in the folder “C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Power Generation

Portal\display\bin” the files obtained in the step 2.4 above. These files contain the
project graphics compiled.
Restore the file indicated in the registry entry

tal\APPS\IbDisp\GlobalScriptFile”

Portal\icons” the icons and bitmaps of the Project.

Edición:
3.5. HISTORICAL FILES.
Restore in the path saved in the registry key

tal\Directories\HisBackup”
the files obtained in the step 2.5 above.

tal\bin\HisBackup.exe”

Edición:
The program will show a list of the historical files and their type:
Alarms
Trends Groups
Historical data
Post trip reports
Totalizers
We have two options:

Select one of the files in the listing and with the left button of the mouse select “Re-
store”. This action will restore only the data file selected in the working system.
In the menu select “Restore” and select the type of historical data to restore.

Edición:
In the dialog we will select the file we need to restore:
Finally the system will show the result of the operation:
4. AUTOMATIC BACKUP-RESTORE

Historical data files
Selecting “Power Generation Portal Registry”, the application will save the registry
setting in the file indicated in the edit box Save In.

Edición:
Selecting the checkbox for the option “Power Generarion Portal Files”, a dialog box will
appear with the checkboxes “Config directory”, “Display directory” o “Data
directory” where we will select the backup type we want to do.
With the option “Select all directories” we select a complete backup.
After that we will intoduce the name of our backup and push the button “Backup”

Edición:
NOTE. This utility copies and comprises the system directories.
