The file should contain the following text:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

  <appSettings>

    <add key="sourceNames" value="*"/>

    <add key="sourceFolder" value="C:\Program Files\Capstone\PortIO\Data"/>

    <add key="destFolder" value="\\QUARRY\capstone\PortIO\Data"/>

    <add key="destSnapFolder" value=""/>

    <add key="SnapBufferInterval" value="1000"/>

    <add key="SnapInterval" value="1000"/>

    <add key="HourlyDailyInterval" value="30000"/>

    <add key="sourcehistpath" value="C:\Program Files\Capstone\PortIO\Data"/>

    <add key="desthistpath" value="\\Capstone\PortIO\Data"/>

    <add key="CopyAverageFiles" value="False"/>

    <add key="HourlyUpdateMode" value="DAILY"/>

  </appSettings>

  <startup>

    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>

  </startup>

</configuration>

To configure a setting, change the value for the setting following these rules:

sourceNames: A list of the sources. Separate the list of sources with a “;”. Use “*” to copy all sources.

sourceFolder: The folder to monitor for PortIO snap and exceptions files.

destFolder: The path to the historian snap and exceptions files. Should be the folder that matches the folder that is the ‘datapath’ for a source. Normally a network folder.

destSnapFolder: The folder to copy only the snap files. If snap files need to be copied leave this field empty. Separate multiple paths with “;”.

SnapBufferInterval: The frequency in ms to check for new files.

SnapInterval: The frequency in ms to copy only snap files. This frequency overrides SnapBufferInterval.

HourlyDailyInterval: The frequency in ms to check for new hourly or daily aggregate files.

Sourcehistpath: The folder to monitor for PortIO hourly and daily files.

Desthistpath: The file path to the historian hourly and daily files. Should be the folder that matches the folder that is the ‘histpath’ for a source. Normally a network folder.

CopyAverageFiles:  Set to true to copy average files.

HourlyUpdateMode: Set to DAILY to update hourly files once a day after midnight. Any other value will update the hourly files when they change.
