Hi
Is it possible in PcVue to track where all a variable is used?
A customer wants to know a variable, let's say "Branch01.Register01" is used in what all mimics, report generation, SB/VBA programs, trend viewers, charts, animations, etc. The idea is he wants to add another register let's say "Branch02.Register01" with the same functions and features of "Branch01.Register01" but he didn't where all it is consumed.
I saw [KB1067], can we achieve the cusatomer require as per it? Do we have any solution?

Hello Tijo,
I think you submitted duplicate topics. I reply here because you have additional information here.
I read KB 1067 but it seems it is a variable tracking library. Basically, it is to list all variables and it's real-time value in the data grid.
I think what you are looking for is our internal support tool, SvAppScan. Under the function "Project Scanner", you have a tab HMI, and here you can see the utilization of a specific variable on other mimic or symbol (only if those mimic or symbol has been saved as ASCII, not binary). Attached are some screenshots.
But since it is an internal tool, I am not sure who will authorize to share it with customers.

Yes, But can we provide it to a customer?

Ok, I replied to the other thread 🙁
You can provide svAppscan to your customer but the "talk" is:
- There is no guarantee as it is an internal and not official tool. Of course, feedback is welcomed
- There is no training therefore you must learn it first to show it to your customer
And, as I said in he other thread, a simple "Search in files" makes the job

There is an internal knowledge base article to download this internal tool: [KB799] PcVue Application Scanner Cross references are more and more effective I guess with the newest versions. But as Nicolas said I am used to notepad++ and PSPad to look for variables in projects. Graphical objects in used libraries must be converted in ASCII in any case before using internal tool or text editors.
