Errors and messages
During the loading, all errors and messages are shown immediately. Any errors occurring in
a device do not cause the entire action to be aborted; they only apply to the device that is
currently being processed. Errors and other messages are saved and can be displayed at a
later time.
Suppressing message dialogs
You can suppress message dialogs during the loading. Select the "Execute 'Load' without info
dialogs" check box. You can find additional information using the Options > SIMATIC PDM >
Settings > The "Load" tab (Page 213) menu command.
