Good morning.

I have **updated** Ignition 7.9.9 to **8.0.7**.  
I have noticed that if I make changes to the “ **default provider** ” tags (add, remove, modify any tags) and **restart** the server (Windows Server 2016), **sometimes the changes are not saved**.  
The problem does not occur if I make changes to the tags of **another** “provider”.

Could it be because the “default provider” is inherited from Ignition 7 and there is some **incompatibility**?

Best Regards.

It’s a stab in the dark but check the name of the default provider.  
Depending on how you move from 7.9 to 8.0, the name sometimes changes  
from (7.9.x): Ignition OPC-UA Server  
to (8.0.x): Ignition OPC UA Server  
The difference in spelling can cause problems.

Good Morning.

Thanks for your reply.  
But I mean “ **Realtime tags provider** ”, not OPC-UA connections.

Sorry, bad assumption on my part.  
“default” is normally configured to use “Ignition OPC-UA Server” or “Ignition OPC UA Server”

Good luck.
