Known Issues

Plant SCADA starts in demo mode following a reboot

If you restart a virtual machine, Plant SCADA will go into demo mode the first time you launch runtime. This is because the AVEVA Plant SCADA Runtime Manager service does not pick up a license after a reboot. If you open Runtime Manager, you will see that the status of the System Services process is "Running (Demo)".

If you restart the System Services process, Plant SCADA will pick up a license correctly.

Uninstalling the Plant SCADA Project DBF AddIn

Plant SCADA includes an add-in for Microsoft Excel called the Plant SCADA Project DBF AddIn. By default, this is installed by Integration Studio on a development workstation node.

If you modify the Plant SCADA installation on a virtual machine and remove the DBF AddIn, you cannot install it a second time. It is recommended that you do not attempt to remove the Plant SCADA Project DBF AddIn from a development workstation node.

Applying Monthly Updates

Monthly updates to Plant SCADA are not automatically included in the version installed on a virtual machine by Integration Studio.

To apply an update to Plant SCADA, you will need to manually install it on each virtual machine. See Manage Updates.

Server Redundancy

If you create a distributed simulation system that includes a set of redundant servers, they will not be able to operate as a redundant pair by default.

If this is required, additional configuration is needed. See Configure Server Redundancy.

AVEVA Enterprise Licensing pages in Configurator

Licenses are managed through your AVEVA Integration Studio subscription. Every node is equipped with a local unlimited license which means you do not need to connect to a License Server or use AVEVA's License Manager.

Despite this, AVEVA Enterprise Licensing pages will still appear in Configurator on the virtual machines created by Integration Studio. This has the following impact on the functionality of these pages:

• The Test Connection button will not work.

• The Secure page will indicate that a secure connection to the License Server is not configured.

As there is no License Server, these issues will not impact your simulation system. You do not need to use these pages.
