PCS7 7.1 SP1 cilent pictures not opening

So how to deal with such issues?

I see the same problem here. WinCC 7.0 on my laptop works as OS Server and the Virtual Machine is an OS Client with a separate project. Client's download is successful, the server data is in place, project activates and I can see accessible (dark) Area buttons but they don't work.

I tried to put a copy of the main screens to a Client's GraCS folder and then I was able to open those screens from the Area buttons but there was no live information, all tags were bad.

Now about little success:

If I would define a Standard server for a Tags component in a Client's project then I will be able to read the tags from the OS Server.

If I would define a Standard server for a Pictures component in a Client's project then first I will get the same error: SSMRTChangeWorkField failed: Split Screen Manager: Invalid Picturename — trying to open the screen. Then I checked: Runtime is trying to open a Picture named ARMOB02_OS01::mBC.Pdl — why without @ symbol in the begin? So I have changed the script SSMChangeWorkField to add the @:

if (pszPrefix && NULL == strstr ( PictureName, "::")) { // pszPrefix is always empty
strncpy(lpszPictureName, pszPrefix,260);
strncat(lpszPictureName, PictureName,260);
} else {
strncpy(lpszPictureName, "@",260); // new operation
strncat(lpszPictureName, PictureName,260); // was strncpy
}

 And only thus everything works correct.
