To streamline archive configuration, use the Rapid Archive wizard to generate archives based on .xls Rapid Archive Schedule files. You import the Rapid Archive Schedule files into the Rapid Archive Field Controller wizard.

Important: Use version 3 of the Rapid Archive Schedule with SCT Release 13.0 and later. At Release 13.0 the Rapid Archive Schedule spreadsheet is installed on the SCT computer at C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\RAC.

If you are a Johnson Controls employee, you can view informational videos about Rapid Archive Creation on the uLearn site: https://jc.kzoplatform.com/containers/928995312607959016.

Figure 1. Sample Rapid Archive Schedule

Keep in mind the following recommendations when working with Rapid Archive Schedules:

Important: The Rapid Archive Field Controller wizard is case-sensitive.

You must not edit Column headings in the Rapid Archive Schedule file that are used by the Rapid Archive Field Controller Creation wizard feature. At SCT Release 13.0 you can reorder the columns and insert custom columns for your own reference, and not affect the import.
You can alter columns not specifically called out in the following table and not impact the Rapid Archive Field Controller Creation wizard process.
You can pre-select the supervisory devices that you want to edit in the all Items tree, prior to opening the rapid archive feature. If you do not pre-select any supervisory devices, the Select Scope window appears after launching the rapid archive feature.
As best practice, create multiple Rapid Archive Schedules based on device-level hierarchy, for example, individual room schedules for chillers, boilers, air handling units, and terminal units.
If you are required to enter a name, use the Name attribute of the Object.

Table 1. Rapid Archive Schedule Requirements and Descriptions
Rapid Archive Schedule Column Heading	Used by RAC	Requirements and Description
Space Information
Site/Building/Floor	Yes	Enter the full Spaces location for the device to be added to ensure proper Spaces tree auto-creation. For example, `BE Headquarters/Campus 507/Building 9/Floor 2` creates the four space parent space hierarchy levels BE Headquarters, Campus 507, Building 9, and Floor 2. This column populates the Spaces tree information in SCT.
Room Number	Reference Only	The Room Number is provided as a local reference column and does not populate the Space tree in SCT.
Leaf Space (e.g. Room)	Yes Not required if the equipment serves the whole campus.	Enter the Leaf Space for the Site > Building > Floor hierarchy that is associated to the Equipment being created.
All Items / Equipment Tree Information
Device Name	Yes	Enter the Controller Name as you want it to be displayed in the All Items tree and Equipment tree. This column populates the Name column in the Rapid Archive wizard.
Device FQR Reference	Yes	Enter the Controller's FQR as you want it to appear in the SCT UI and tool tips. We recommend that you copy the Controller Name as written in the Device Name column over to the Device FQR Reference column. The key purpose of a different FQR name is for existing sites that had standard naming processes established for the FQRs in SMP and SCT.
Device Description	Yes (optional)	Enter an optional description. This column populates the Description column in the Rapid Archive wizard.
Equipment Name	Yes	Enter the Controller Name as you want it to be displayed in the Metasys UI's Equipment views.
Served By Equipment Name	Yes (optional)	Enter the exact name of the pre-existing device serving your controller. This column populates the Served By relationship in the Rapid Archive wizard. Note: The device serving your controller must already be created in the SCT archive, or the serving relationship is not created through the Rapid Archive wizard.
Controller Part #	Reference Only	The Controller Part # column is provided as a local reference column that does not populate any columns in the Rapid Archive wizard but can be used to display whether the device is JCI family or Generic family.
Network Information
Engine Name	Yes	Enter the name of the parent NAE exactly as it appears in SCT. This column populates the Supervisory Device column in the Rapid Archive wizard. Note: The parent NAE to your controller must already be created in the SCT archive, or the relationship is not created through the Rapid Archive wizard.
Trunk Name	Yes	Enter the Trunk Identifier for the integration trunk for your device. Integration trunk IDs are populated based on their port assignments on the physical field devices. This column populates the Integration column in the Rapid Archive wizard. Notes: The trunk for your controller must already be created in the SCT archive, or the integration relationship is not created through the Rapid Archive wizard. For MSTP Trunks, remember to set the Trunk Number in the Hardware Tab of the MSTP Integration when the trunk is created. This is required to support both the hardware and remote field buses. MSTP trunks also have their own MAC Address column that must be filled in. For IP Trunks, you can only create and name one IP integration per engine. IP trunks also have their own IP Controller Number column that you must fill in.
Controller Host Name (Future)	Reference Only	The Controller Host Name column is provided as a local reference column that does not populate any columns in the Rapid Archive wizard but can be used to display the network host name of the device.
JCI MAC Address	Yes	Enter the MAC address for the device. The uniqueness of the MAC Addresses per MSTP integration is be validated in Rapid Archive after you import. This column populates the JCI Mac Address column in the Rapid Archive wizard. Note: For MSTP Trunk, a unique MAC Address per engine per MSTP Trunk is required. The MAC Address is 8 position dip switch setting on the MSTP controllers.
IP Controller Number	Yes	Enter the combined value of rotary switches set on the device. The uniqueness of the Controller Numbers is be validated by the Rapid Archive wizard after you import. This column populates the IP Controller Number column in the Rapid Archive wizard.
ZigBee PANs Offset	Reference Only	The ZigBee PANS Offset column is provided as a local reference column for users configuring a WNC mesh and does not populate any columns in the Rapid Archive wizard.
