The ddi.exe utility is designed for editing files of external (*.ddi) system settings and templates of the main.dbi and main.ext.dbi main database.

You can start the ddi.exe utility from theĀ Start -> Axxon PSIM -> System configurationĀ menu.

The ddi.exe utility is available from the Start menu with the following Axxon PSIM installation types: Server, Remote administrator workstation, Remote client.

You can also start the utility from the Tools64 folder of the Axxon PSIM installation directory.

After you make changes to the *.ddi and/or *.dbi files, update the main database. To do this, use the idb.exe utility (see the The idb.exe utility for converting databases, selecting database templates and making backup copies of databases section).

If you make changes using the ddi.exe utility to the .ddi or .dbi files installed along with Axxon PSIM, these files are removed when you remove them with the configuration saved. The .ddi and .dbi files added manually are saved.
