Roster 02 Export in Binary File Format (.bin*)

Requires access to Setup > System > Task Manager. Additionally, for testing purposes be sure the Roster contains recent record modifications. If you are not sure, go to the Roster and make a quick change for testing, for example give a person a Sick code and be sure to remove it after your test.

The Roster 02 Export supports a binary (.bin) file format using <application name > v5.4.2 or subsequent version. To apply and convert a binary file format, the file name must be prefixed with bin*. For example, bin.ROS02-(.*).xml will be written to ROS02-(.*).bin. To revert back to the original file format, omit the bin. prefix on the xml file.

Note:

Any use outside of the ROS02 Export Task is not supported and results are undefined.
