I have migrated a project and the migration is almost successful but I get compile error in 3 scripts.

I can read the log file but I do not understand it:

How can I find the 3 scripts?

How can I open the scripts and see what they are supposed to be doing?

How can I rewrite the scripts so they are also working in the migrated project?

Hi,

As Georg points out, there are errors because the script are trying to call three functions that it cannot find.

If you open the three c-scripts "StartTimeLog", "StopTimeLog" and "StopTimeUpdateLog" and compile each of them, you will find an explanation of why they will not compile.

In this case it is because they cannot find some c-script functions that are not part of WinCCs standard functions.

Normally when a project contains calls to non-standard functions, they will be located in the "Project functions" list in the c-editor. This way they will follow the project when you move it around.

But it is possible to install project functions as a system-wide thing so they are not part of the project.

But this also means that if you move the project to another system, the functions will be missing unless you install them there too.

It sounds like this has happened here.

Look on the original computer in the c-editor what it shows in the left-hand side where you normally see the "Project functions", "Standard functions" "Internal functions" and "Actions".

Are there any other folders or more folders inside these than on the new computer?

Regards

Hello Georg and Michael K,

Please also see the screenshots.

Thank you for answering. I am however not as experienced as you so I need it explained even more basic:

I certainly prefer the "Project functions" solution.

I have to open the 2 virtual machines (on the same PC) so see this variation and I will do that.

But how do I even find the C-editor?

I can find the VN editor but not the C-editor

Furthermore I can see many .pas files in the original project but only one in the migrated project (and not the folder Georg mentioned at all in the migrated one) I only got error for 3 C-scripts during the migration - does this mean that the other scripts got migrated without error and if so where are they located now (on the new server)?

Hello xmnj,

as the "MigratorLog.txt" says:
There are compile errors in script H:\tmp\EB5DIT\Eb5srv01\wincproj\KALEB5SRV01\SIEMENSSWMB\PAS\StartTimeLog.pas
CCMigrator::ConvertSingleDispEditor() Conversion failed : StartTimeLog.pas
There are compile errors in script H:\tmp\EB5DIT\Eb5srv01\wincproj\KALEB5SRV01\SIEMENSSWMB\PAS\StopTimeLog.pas
CCMigrator::ConvertSingleDispEditor() Conversion failed : StopTimeLog.pas
There are compile errors in script H:\tmp\EB5DIT\Eb5srv01\wincproj\KALEB5SRV01\SIEMENSSWMB\PAS\StopTimeUpdateLog.pas
CCMigrator::ConvertSingleDispEditor() Conversion failed : StopTimeUpdateLog.pas

this are the global C-actions "StartTimeLog.pas", "StopTimeLog.pas" and "StopTimeUpdateLog.pas".
The global C-actions are stord in the subfolders "\SIEMENSSWMB\PAS" in the projectfolder.

Regards
