Fail to load plugin in OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT


 Product(s):OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT
 Version(s):10.00.XX.XX to 10.15.XX.XX
 Environment:N/A
 Area:Installation_Configuration
 Subarea:INstallation Error 

Error or Warning Message

A "fail to load plugin" message appears at start-up, or the plug-in is missing from the Plug-ins menu or the Plug-ins menu is missing.


Explanation

This type of error message typically indicates a necessary file is missing.  In the example message above, the Config.xml is missing from the expected path.  This commonly occurs when a Custom plugin is "installed" on a new machine, but all the related files are put in one path.  In recent releases, plugin files belong in two different paths, see below.

How to Avoid

  1. Copy the config.xml file for the plugin to the "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Datasets\Substation\Plugins\MyPlugin" folder as the case may be.

  2. The remainder of the files for the plugin typically belongs in the "C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition\Substation\Electrical\Plugins\MyPlugin" folder.

Note: Substitute the actual name of the plugin for "MyPlugin" in the above paths.  Ensure that the folder for the plugin is named the same in each path.
