A project recently went through to replace an old computer that was running Wonderware with a new computer. After a bit of work I was able to get the new computer communicating to the PLC and thought all was good. I came in today to find that they LoadRecipe screen wasn't populating the list of recipes from the Excel file like it used to.
I am a complete n00b with Wonderware. Only learned it existed about a month ago (normally I'm a Rockwell guy). The whole install/computer setup was done by an outside contractor before I started working here a few months ago and we can't get a hold of him now.
I did notice that Recipe Manager is not installed on the new computer, but it was on the old one. Is it needed for normal run? Or just editing/setting up new recipes? I'm also wondering if the directory where the excel file is store might be different (i.e. different user name, etc.) but I can't find anywhere in the software (or online manuals) where I should look to see where it is trying to find the file on the computer.
Any input on where to start looking would be much appreciated. I found the QuickScript used for the LoadRecipe and, from what I can tell, it looks okay. It is calling out an SQL script.
