I have a couple of Global Scripts that I cannot delete or edit and when I try to open them they display a ‘Script Resource Locked’ message as shown here:
This came about when I copied the scripts from a project folder to a global folder.
There are no other Clients or Designers running.
I have tried restarting the Gateway PC multiple times, backing up and restoring the project and updating Java. Nothing will let me delete these files!
I am running Ignition 7.7.4 and Java 1.8.0_45.
When the error first occurred I was using Java version 1.8.0_25.
Does anybody know how I can delete these files?
Thanks.
Can you look through the sessions list in the gateway webpage under the status tab and see if there are any designers open that you don’t know about that have these resources locked?
I checked this at the start and there are none.
I’ve tried closing all clients and all designers and then opening a new designer on a different PC and it still had the same problem. I just cannot edit or delete these files!
Have just come across this due to similar issue.
Are support monitoring this?
At moment, my workaround is to edit the script where it was created, but that not always ideal.
There must be a fix…?
Hi @scott2, after contacting tech support, they admitted it was a bug. In my case this was almost 3 years ago for Ignition 7.7.4. I am not aware if they fixed it in later versions.
Anyway, open a ticket because this OEM feature is very specific and I don’t believe many people use it apart from us.
Your workaround is the only solution I had too.
