Para alert handling display bug migrated alarms

Post by dbindernagel »

Hello,

I found a display bug in the para regarding alert handling configs with old/migrated alerts (The alerts itself are working as expected).

1. We have migrated a project from PVSS 3.9 to WinCC OA 3.14
2. We have alerts with the following settings: Boolean, discrete, good range: 1
3. After migrating the project the para from 3.14 displays these alerts with a good range of 0 instead of 1.

It seems that the internal format of the alert_hdl has changed.
Creating an ASCII export with a 3.9 and a 3.14 project shows that these are created different between the versions.
The rows for DetailNr are switched and column _alert_hdl.._match uses other values.
While the alerts still work the para cannot handle this and shows wrong information.

Example from an ASCII export:

Code: Select all

PVSS 3.9
ElementName	TypeName	DetailNr	_alert_hdl.._type	_alert_hdl.._class	_alert_hdl.._match
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest		13		
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest	1	5	S7_Warning.	0
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest	2	5		1

WinCC OA 3.14			
ElementName	TypeName	DetailNr	_alert_hdl.._type	_alert_hdl.._class	_alert_hdl.._match
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest		13		
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest	1	5		*
AlarmTest01.Value	AlarmTest	2	5	S7_Warning.	0

How have you migrated the project from version 3.9 to 3.14?
Did you do it with the project administration (WCCOAtoolConvertDb) or by using an ASCII-export and import or any other tools?

We did the migration with the Project Administration.
