Issue
The F3 Search function in EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) WorkStation does not return results for Notification File objects (e.g., .xlsx, .pdf, .txt), even when using wildcards.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- EcoStruxure Building Operation WorkStation
- Search
Cause
This behavior is functioning as designed (FAD). Notification files generated using the "Write to File" option are not stored in the EBO database. Therefore, they are not indexed and cannot be retrieved using the F3 search function.
Resolution
Although these files are not searchable within EBO, they are saved locally in a fixed directory:
...\db\notifications
To assist users in locating these files:
- Create a Hyperlink Object in EBO that points to the above folder.
- Users can then open the folder directly within WorkStation and use the operating system’s search functionality to locate specific files.
Note: The notification file path is not configurable.
