Issue
Right-click on a Xenta Server 5/7/9xx in Vista Workstation to edit, but the option for Edit is gray (not enabled) or is not there at all.
Environment
- Vista Workstation
- Xenta Servers
- Xenta 511, 527, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913
Cause
A mismatch between the installed version of XBuilder and the specified XBuilder version in the properties of the Xenta Server.
A different implementation of a Xenta 5/7/9xx controller.
Resolution
Check that this is being utilized as a true Xenta Server
Check that the Xenta Server is added in the database using the object type Xenta Server. All other implementations are not truly Xenta Servers, and will not have the option to edit XBuilder directly from Vista. It may be a:
- Xenta 911 Communication Port
- Xenta 5/7/9xx LON node in an LNS database. Vista only recognizes the XIF of the device
- In both of these cases, XBuilder is edited and stored locally, not in the Vista database.
Check the associated XBuilder version of a Xenta Server
- Make sure the correct version of XBuilder is installed on the PC.
- Right-click on the Xenta Server and select Properties.
- The version of XBuilder the system is expecting to find is shown here. This is a write-able field.
- If needed, change it to the correct version of XBuilder that is installed on the PC.
- Refresh the network and then the Edit option should be available.
