Changes between 2 engineering stations

Hello,

I am currently struggling with an issue involving my two engineering stations.
I have Engineering Station A, which contains a project in state A-1. I transferred project A-1 to Engineering Station B (both stations are running ProviewR version 5.9-2). On Station B, I made some modifications to A-1, resulting in project state A-2.
I then transferred project A-2 back to Station A and replaced the old state A-1 with the updated A-2 version. However, I am now experiencing a problem: the changes I made in A-2 do not seem to work on Station A.
For example, I added an OR block to my PLC program. But when the OR block receives inputs 1 and 0, it outputs 0, even though nothing is inverted and the logic should output 1.
Additionally, another PLC object created in A-2 shows the following error message only when opened on Station A:
 

Does anyone know what might be causing this behavior or how to correctly synchronize projects between stations?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi User,

You should copy the flow files that contains the trace information, $pwrp_load/*.flw.

Hi User,
as an alternative to Claes' solution, you can also enter the command “create flowfiles /template /all” in the class editor, which will generate all flowfiles or update them to the current status. When switching to a different engineering station, I always recommend rebuilding the entire project, i.e., class libraries and project volumes.

Hi,
I also always switch between 2 dev stations. 1 station is remote and one locally.
When I want to do small changes or do some monitoring I use the remote station, when I want to do bigger changes I use my local station. 
Every station is a virtual machine with the same project structure. It started with the base structure. This structure consists mainly of 2 projects, one base project where the wole system logic is integrated and one project where I develop my own librairy and do the testing of the lib.
When I go from the one station to the other, I simply copy the two project directories and always do a

(sorry to go further on this message but my finger slipped and I can't edit my previous message ...)
As I was saying: I always do a full rebuild of the complete projects before working further on it. So first the lib, transfer the lib (only if the lib was changed, but it can't herm to do so if you are using multiple users) and then the main project.
Make sure you always have backups. I made once the fault not having a backup before copy and the load compiled but didn't want to run. As the load was copied from the remote to the local and back, both load became corrupt (big mistake from my side). So in the first copy there was a corrupt file and strangly there where no compile errors and resulting with a system with an older load with basic functions was the only thing I could do at that moment, took a long day to recreate all the changes made.

So yes, it can be done, take a backup before transfering the load and do a full (forced) recompile.
