Missing system.dataset.exportCSV function

Ignition
,

Hello gentlemen.

I run into this weird issue with 8.1.42 where I have an instance that for some unknown reason does not have system.dataset.exportCSV available from the script consol and another one that has it.

I restarted the designer and the whole server but nothing have helped.

any clue what it could be?

this is what is available for me:

this is another working instance on same version:

I had this same issue. Had to uninstall and reinstall ignition

For weird legacy reasons, system.dataset.exportCSV is actually provided by the Vision module.

Check to make sure it's installed on both systems.

that is what I was worried about...

We have many instances without vision module and it is fine there.

I found out that it is not only about exportCSV funcion... unfortunately..

More scripting functions provided by the Vision module.

I think you are right... I am about to test it. Thanks a LOT... I recall I uninstalled modules without license...

this will be the reason

Installing VISION module have resolved it. Thanks again KEVIN.

The thing about all these functions is that they all end up showing some kind of GUI dialog to do whatever they do, and this only makes sense in the context of a running Vision Client (or Designer).

There should be some equivalent for all of these that does not require a GUI, e.g. system.dataset.toCSV | Ignition User Manual
