Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Enterprise Server
- Building Operation Enterprise Central
- Building Operation Report Server
- Building Operation Timescale Database
Cause
WebReports/Report Server is not supported in EBO 2022 (version 4.0) or higher.
Resolution
To address this, Schneider Electric provides a Data Migration Assistant (DMA) tool that:
- Reads data from WebReports 3.x
- Writes data to External Log Storage
- Download the DMA Tool
External Log Storage Overview
- Stores historical data from EcoStruxure BMS
- Storage capacity is limited only by your hardware
- Historical data is displayed in WorkStation and WebStation (event and trend views)
- Any server can be configured to write data to TimescaleDB
Licensing Requirements
- External Log Storage requires a license
- Refer to:
Hardware & Software Requirements
Ensure compatibility with:
Recommended specs for large systems (e.g., 100 BMS servers):
- High-performance SSD
- Minimum 64 GB RAM
- Additional CPU capacity
Refer to:
Merging Log Data
- External Log Storage reduces extended trend logs on BMS servers
- You can merge extended trend logs into source logs in External Log Storage
- See: Merging of Trend Log Data
Enhanced Reporting (XLSX Templates)
EBO servers (v3.2 or higher) support native reporting with:
- Text and XLSX formats
- Advanced XLSX features: formulas, conditional formatting, charts, sparklines
