Note
You will find extensive information on the configuration of the OS functions, for example, central 
OS settings for keysets, in the "SIMATIC process control system PCS 7 Operator Station"

10.1.1 Defining the server assignment
Introduction
In order for a client to be able to display the process data from different servers in a distributed 
system, it needs information about the associated data. Server data (packages) are generated 
for this, to be provided to the clients. The client requires the server data from all servers, whose 
process information it should visualize.
The system creates/updates the server data automatically during OS compilation and 
download. Alternatively, the server data can be generated manually in the SIMATIC Manager 
using "Generate server data" in the context menu.
