WinCC Unified: Issue validating Audit Trail data using the WinCC Audit Viewer program

Hello, I have a problem with my WinCC Unified screen. I need to keep a record of the changes made to the screen, so I implemented the audit trail. The file is generated in .DB3 format, which seems to be SQLite format, and when I search the Siemens guides, I find that it can be opened with a SQLite program and exported to .CSV from the same program.

The problem is that I need to validate the data and verify that it has not been tampered with, so I use the WinCC Audit Viewer program, but it gives me errors when reading the file. I also tried exporting to .CSV from the screen with the Audit Viewer template in My Controls, but it still does not recognize the file properly. In this case, what else could I try or is the validation done differently?

Thank you for your help.

Hi sebastian _bueno49!

Depending on the language selected, in some cases there may be a conflict when opening an Audit file in the Audit Viewer. Especially because of the issue of the "," and ";" . I would recommend reviewing these points:

-> When opening WinCC Audit Trail files, why do you get the error message "Invalid Delimiter ... in file: ..."?
