Issue When attempting to start the Enterprise Server, the user receives the following error message: "Windows could not start the Building Operation Enterprise Server service on Local Computer: Error 216: 0xd8" Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Microsoft Windows Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Cause Windows error 216: 0xd8 means "The version of %1 is not compatible with the version you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher." It is likely that this error is being received due to the EBO Enterprise Server/Central being installed on a 32-bit Windows Operating System. Resolution Beginning in EBO 2.0 it is no longer supported for the Enterprise Server to run on a 32-bit Operating System. Reference the Enterprise Server Specification Sheet for the appropriate product version you are using to find the list of supported Operating Systems. The Enterprise Server/Central should then be installed on one of the supported 64-bit Operating Systems. ... View more

Issue There is a need for a single Compatibility Matrix that shows EBO, PME, Energy Expert and relevant software versions all in the same location. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Other Environment EcoStruxure Energy Expert  Power Manager for SmartStruxure ETL tool Cause Energy Expert version compatibility information is currently available but is stored in many different places such as release notes and online documentation, rather than one single matrix. Resolution The full ETL for EBO compatibility matrix is shown in the following table. Energy Expert  PME EBO ETL .NET Framework Power Manager 1.0 7.2 .3 1.6.1 3 4.5 Power Manager 1.1 8 1.6, 1.7.1 4.1 4.5 Power Manager 1.2 8.1 1.6.1  1.7.1, 1.8.1 4.3 4.6 Power Manager 1.3 8.2 1.8.1,  1.9.X,  4.6 4.6 Energy expert 2.0 9 2 5 4.6 Energy expert 3.0 2020 3.0,3.1,3.2 6 4.6   Great care must be taken when choosing the correct version of ETL to use when integrating Energy Expert and EBO, as there are actually two families of ETL in production.  One ETL designed and tested for PME use only and ETL for EBO designed and tested with an EBO Extract Task specifically for integrating the two systems. (For example, a version of ETL 4.7 exists, but this is not ETL for EBO and therefore does NOT contain an EBO Extract Task, even though it is a valid version of ETL for the Power Community) ...

Issue While trying to login to either WorkStation or WebStation, or during the startup of the Enterprise Server, an error "Error -25: License server system does not support this version of this feature." appears. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation version 2.0.x or later Building Operation Webstation version 2.0.x or later Building Operation Software Administrator version 2.0.x or later Cause The activated license is not at an appropriate version for the corresponding software. The licenses activated in the EBO License Administrator need to be at a version greater than or equal to the version of the Building Operation software being used.  Resolution 1. Workstation - If the Workstation license activated in License Administrator is at Version 1, this license will need to be upgraded to be compatible for any system EBO 2.0 and beyond. To do this, simply notate the Entitlement ID and then return the Workstation License. Once returned, reactivate the license from the previously recorded Entitlement ID. This will upgrade the 1.X License to be used with newer systems. 2. Enterprise Server - If the error is received on an ES, verify that all ES licenses are in place. If the system was upgraded, it is necessary for all previous versions of ES/AS licenses to remain activated in the License Administrator.  ... View more

Issue When upgrading EcoStruxure Building Operation to version 2.0 or newer, the Energy Expert software should also be upgraded maintain compatibility Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment PME Server Energy Expert Power Manager Cause The proper procedure is required when upgrading from older versions of Power Manager to the latest Energy Expert version. Guidance and best practices are needed for upgrading a PME server from PME 7.2 to PME 9.0. Resolution A Power Manager 1.0 site should be taken to 1.1 first, then upgraded to Energy Expert 2.0 Below are the recommendations for a side-by-side upgrade from PME 7.2 to PME 9.0:  On the old server: Run the PME_8.2.iso file to do an in-place upgrade from PME 7.2.3 to PME 8.2 After completing that upgrade, the system will default to using a PME 8.2 trial license Install and run the PME 8.2 CM 2.1.0 Tool which will perform necessary actions for the side-by-side upgrade; we will use it to create a .zip file containing configuration components such as reports, dashboards, diagrams, users, devices, etc. Transfer this .zip file from the CM Tool to the new server On the new server: Run the PME_8.2.iso file to install PME 8.2 (this can be done while the above steps are performed on the old server) After transferring the .zip file from the old server, install and run the PME 8.2 CM 2.1.0 Tool on the new server and have it load the archived data from the .zip file into the program, and then write it to the system (essentially performing a PME 8.2 server to server migration) After that finishes, we can run the PME_9.0.iso file to upgrade from PME 8.2 to PME 9.0 After PME 9.0 is installed, we can activate the PME 9.0 license(s) in the Floating License Manager using the activation ID(s) that were already acquired, then remove the PME 9.0 trial license using License Manager (different from Floating License Manager) Running into issues with the install?
