Product Line

Environment

Building Operation Enterprise Server (ES)

Resolution

The default path where the Enterprise Server database is installed depends on the operating system it is installed on as well as the version: 

The default database path for Building Operation 1.9 and below:

For 2.0 and above 

C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure\Building Operation x.x\Enterprise Server

7. After the Enterprise Server is installed, run the Software Administrator. The database path should now point to the new database directory. Start the Enterprise Server if it is not already running. 
   
8. Log on to the Enterprise Server from Workstation and restore the backup set (all data) which was saved. 
9. Log on to the Enterprise Server and verify operation.
