Disappearing Sessions

[Yorkshire]

Hi

I have created and completed a new layout/route for TANE. Whenever I work on the layout or make changes I always work on the route and don’t go into session mode. To go with the route I created a session with a number of paths created in schedule library.

I decided to make some changes (track condition) and did this in the route mode. It then asked me if I wanted to save the changes, obviously the answer is YES. However it appears to have not just saved the route but eliminated the session I created and replaced it with a new Default session. I have had this before in TS12. I tried importing my session which I had saved earlier as a CDP only to be told it was already installed; but I can’t access it because it no longer appears as a session in the sessions list. How do you make changes and ensure that the session(s) you have created are not replaced by a new default session and thus undoing all your previous work. The relationship between routes and sessions has always seemed to me to be a little precarious! This is not the first time it has happened!

Must say that generally I am very pleased with TANE - a great step forward.

This has been the case since trainz started. If you alter the route only and save, the original session will stay with the original route details. Always do your edit of route via the edit session then the session will remain with the route each time. You might change some important things from the route that the old session will be looking for. Open the old session and edit the config file. Change the map-kuid to that of the new saved route, also change the kuid in the kuid table below it. If track or some other assets have been moved the session may not work with the new route.

Thanks for that - I used to change the route through edit session but then discovered that often it would not record track changes as part of the route but only in the session. When editing in route mode You sometimes get the option to 'not save session' and that meant it would retain previous sessions intact and not overwrite. This morning it didn't give me that option either in save or save as. Will delve into config and see if I can marry them up in the way you suggested.

Thanks
