Issue
After performing server upgrades using Device Administrator, attempts to download the database fail. The server remains in a "Ready for download" state, which cannot be cleared.

Environment
- Building Operation Device Administrator
- Building Operation Automation Server Premium
- Building Operation Automation Server Bundled
- Building Operation Automation Server.
- Building Operation 2023 (version 5) and above
Cause
This happens when a Consolidation Point (CP) or Hotfix has been applied. These updates do not include server packages in Device Administrator, causing download failures during post-hotfix upgrades. DFU upgrades and base version upgrades of the installed Device Administrator still function as expected.
Resolution
This issue is cosmetic and does not impact server functionality; there’s no operational need to upgrade (download) servers after applying a hotfix or CP. However, to clear the persistent "Ready for download" state:
-
Navigate to:
C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure\Building Operation x.0\Device Administrator- Note: The listed path is within a hidden folder in Windows. Enable Windows to view hidden folders if unable to locate this path.
-
Locate the folder:
- Find the folder named tmp[SerialNumber] (e.g., tmpSM22111234) that correlates to the server(s) serial number showing the state "Ready for download"
-
Delete all files inside that folder.
-
Restart Device Administrator if it’s open.
This will clear the "Ready for download" status.
