Import Group addresses from ETS4

[lperen]

Hi,

I'm trying to import .esf files exported from ETS4 to get the group addresses in EIBSTUDIO but get the following errors:
In EIBSTUDIO (3.012 - Was also the case with previous versions)

+---+ EubParser - v3.016 (Windows Win32 Version) +---+
No warranty or damage to the user
Catalog for USA not fully present in 4. Missing: Warnung: "Import einer adresse nicht möeglicht"


and after a white scren of EIBstudio, I get a message box with:
Timeout: Unbekannte Rückgabe vom Eibparser.
while executing
"error "Timeout: Unbekannte Rückgabe vom Eibparser. ""
invoked from within
"# Compiled -- no source code available
error "called a copy of a compiled script""
(procedure "bfnCompileApplication" line 1)
invoked from within
"# Compiled -- no source code available
error "called a copy of a compiled script""
(procedure "fnSelectESFFile" line 1)
invoked from within
"fnSelectESFFile"
(menu invoke)

Then the "Kompiliere Programm" cursor hangs and the only manner to recuperate a stable EIBSTUDIO is to restart it

Could you post an example of .esf file which imports without issues ?
Is there a fix to this ?

I guess you have altered GAs in the ETS that are used somewhere in the EibPC code. I.e. the .esf file you are trying to import is not compatible with the GAs still used in the EibPC code anymore.

The fix is to manually change those GAs also in the code that were altered in the ETS before. Does that make sense to you?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply but here is the result I get with the import of the esf file in a totally empty project.

As you can see, no used GAs (none in the project) and same result at the import of the esf file.

as you know this tread, did you already try to open EibStudio in the German version?

I will sent you an link to a beta-version per mail. Before Christmas this will be fixed in the next official release, too.

Problem solved !

All,

I have made some more searches and found the following:

-There is one data type (216 - alert) which was the first point blocking the import process. It seems that this DPT is not recognized by EIBStudio

-Second point; in my esf file, I had some lines with the following syntax:
Système..0/0/1 Sunrisetxt EIS 15 'Character String' (14 Byte) Low
Totally valid under ETS but these are blocking the import process.

I inserted dummy names (Global in this case)
Système.Global.0/0/1 Sunrisetxt EIS 15 'Character String' (14 Byte) Low

... And the import process went through..... Looks like a undocumented feature :-)

It would be good to add a paragraph with the specifics on the content of esf files import (such as 2 layers GA do not work) in the documentation.
Pretty sure it should avoid long searches hours to others.

Many thanks to those who responded

Thanks for you inverstigation. Anyway, could you please send me the ESF-File which caused the problem at eibpc at enertex dot de?
