Troubleshooting export problems

If errors occur during an export operation, or if you cancel the export while it is in
progress, a message is logged to the Diagnostics List and log file.

In addition, export errors are shown in a log file called ExportErrors.txt, which is saved in
the following folder on the local computer:

(Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)

..\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\Strings

(Windows XP

,

or

Windows Server 2003) C:\Documents and Settings\All

Users\Shared Documents\RSView Enterprise\Strings

Export file formats

During the export operation, files containing the exported text strings are saved by default
in the Strings folder on the local computer. For the location of the Strings folder, see the
previous section.

The type of file saved depends on the type of export operation. Text strings exported:

For all application languages, are saved in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

For the selected application language, are saved in a Unicode text file.

For more information about exporting application text strings, see page 13-11.

Excel spreadsheet file format

Text strings exported for all languages in an application are saved in an Excel spreadsheet.

The format for the file name is <application>_<export version>.xls, where:

<application> is the name of the application.

<export version> is a number indicating the export version.

The first time text strings are exported from an application, the export version is 1.
Subsequent export files for the same application are appended with 2, 3, 4 and so on.

The Excel spreadsheet contains additional information about the exported strings, for
example, the names of the HMI servers and graphic displays that contain the strings. For
more information, see page 13-13.

Existing export error log files are overwritten for each subsequent export operation that
generates errors.
