Issue
When deploying Automation Server or Enterprise Server from Workstation for Projects under PCS, it will fail. The error shown in the Progress view window is "The live server is not empty."
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- SmartStruxure
- Project Configuration Server
- Workstation for Projects
- Enterprise Server (ES)
- Automation Server (AS)
Cause
A project can only be deployed to a server when the server has an empty database and not has been part of a multi-server system. A server is considered empty when it does not contain any user-created objects, such as programs and graphics.
Resolution
The server database can be emptied in different ways depending on if it is an Automation Server or an Enterprise Server:
- Reinstall the Enterprise Server.
- Upgrade the Automation Server with a new database.
For more detail about how to deploy AS or ES, refer to Offline Engineering with Project Configuration Server (PCS).
