Finding a query in projects

Ignition

Hello,

I have about 14 perspective projects (Identical GUI with different station no.s). I have the following query (Trace log screenshot) running every few seconds from different projects, but I am not able to find it even with project search through Designer Launcher.

The yellow highlighted shows the project-name but the view under is from a different project altogether (same discrepancy for other instances of this query log) and it adds ‘@C’ at the end too as shown. Is there a better way to track it down? Thanks

I don't think you can search from Launcher. Did you mean Designer itself?

I have about 14 perspective projects (Identical GUI with different station no.s).

Why? Why not one project with parameters?

In the search tool did you make sure to check all the boxes to search all views, events etc? It does not do it by default.

Also I agree with @Transistor something about this setup smells.

I inherited this whole thing recently. No plans to change as it will go away after a few months

I mean I searched through ‘Designer’ after opening the project. Everything was checked when I did the ‘Ctrl+F‘.

You can open the projects folder (Ignition\data\projects) in the Ignition installation directory with an application like Notepad++ or VSCode and search the folder for that string. You should find it in a query.sql file if it is a Named Query, a *.py file if it is built directly into a project library, or in a view.json file if it’s in a component action or a binding.

Update 1: *low chance it’s in an external python library which would be not located in the projects folder but in the path: \Ignition\user-lib\pylib so you might need to search there too.
