Hey Paul, I'm getting the below error when trying to install the latest version (v1.3.1.0) from the download from the "Install and Launch" button (Kindling). OS Windoze 10
I'm able to run with the zip though. Looking pretty snazzy now compared to before
Edit: I'm using it to look at what queries failed to execute in a quarantine XML. I want to remove some of the queries in it and reimport it to try again without some of the dodgy queries. It'd be cool to be able to do this from Kindling if possible?
Great tool! Very easy to just generate a diagnostic bundle and see everything you need to see.
For gateway backups, am I missing an easy way to view tags? I see some config information in the TAGCONFIG table, but was wondering if there would be an easy way to browse tags like in the designer.
Use-case being, say I have a gateway backup but no good place to restore it at the moment to view the tags within. But I could potentially fire up Kindling and see what I need. Thanks!
That's a pretty cool suggestion, and I had a use case the other day for it, however I suspect the work involved would be not insignificant to add it into kindling. In my case, I'd want to be able to export tag json from it. I had a large project that I wanted to grab a UDT definition from
To turn a config.idb back into a tag tree is to essentially rewrite Ignition's own tag loading logic, bugs/backwards compatibility shims/warts and all. Some folks from our support team have their own internal fork of Kindling and have been working on a tag export related tool, but I've deliberately shied away from doing that work myself, because it's a massive headache. At some point they may choose to 'upstream' their work, though
EDIT:
Not to say that it isn't a very compelling idea I'd love to do it, but it may have to wait for 8.3, where the structure of things is reflected on the filesystem rather than having to parse the IDB and sort/rank things in just the right way.
This tool is AWESOME...came across this while trying to dip into a troublesome S&F data cache that just wouldn't backfill. One question - I'm able to open the data cache file and see my data (943 entries), though the preview at the bottom of Kindling only returns results for the 1st row of my data - does this mean something is corrupted with the 942 subsequent entries? I wasn't able to find any log or anything to tell me if there's an error somewhere in the data cache file.
Again, much appreciated and great work!
Thanks for getting back to me so quick! That's what I was trying, I'd select a different row, but the preview wouldn't refresh with that row's data. Similarly, when I first open the data file, I select one of the other rows, and nothing populates.
You can import a translation export from Ignition, then either edit it inline in Kindling or (more likely) copy it out to Excel via the Copy TSV button in the bottom right corner. Make your changes, paste the bundle back in, then re-export into Ignition's proprietary format. Not the smoothest workflow, but better than nothing until 8.3
And thanks to the incredible reverse engineering work of the support apps team, IDB tag viewing and export:
For developers (including module authors) dealing with 8.3's new restrictions on Java serialization, there's a new java serialization viewer tool that simply loads raw binary from files and attempts to parse it and explain what it contains:
As a temporary measure until the next release with fully reworked .gwbk parsing, detected 8.3 gateway backups will throw up a warning in Kindling, though basic archive related functionality will still work:
Thanks again to new/existing contributors including @Spencer_Lommel1 and @Eric_Byrd for their work on this release! (And @kcollins1 and @jcoffman for their help on the release pipeline!)
Not within Kindling (at the moment). But gateway backups are just zip files - you can open them in any archive tool, make modifications to any files inside, then zip it back up and change the file extension back to .gwbk.
If you run your workstation with a competent operating system, there's no need to change file extensions. When I click on a gateway backup in dolphin, it opens in ark.
Hmm, just tried to open a java serialized gateway event script and ended up with
