Data direct in 800XA File Name of ABBDataDirect.xla 800xA 6.0.3.1
We did Update from 5.1FP4 to Version 6.0.3.1.
First, Data Direct did not work at all. So we had to activate the Plugin in Excel as ServiceAccount User. But there was no ABBDataDirect.xla in the prefered Folder.
So we found:
C:\ProgramData\ABB\800xA\DataDirec\bin\ABBDataDirectSystem800xA.xlam
Copied and renamed to:
C:\ProgramData\ABB\IM\DataDirect\Bin\ABBDataDirect.xla ("DataDirect\Bin" Path manual created).
Activate Plugin in Excel and Datadirect can work again. But there is a Warning:
Could not get Excel PID.
Maybe our copy & rename Solution is not the best idea. Does anyone have a better one?

Hello,
normally all problems disappear if you reinstall DataDirect after Excel is installed.
As an alternative you can just "double click" on the xla file to install the addin, it does not need to be located in a specific folder.

But in all existing Excel Templates are the old path and Filename. So we have realy to edit all our Reports?
I am not sure exactly what you are experiencing for a problem, however, when you are upgrading, especially when you move previously configured Excel workbooks from one PC to another, you MUST Update the Function Reverences. I have attached a document that brings you through this process.
