800xa 6.1 Control builder rebuild search data freez
Dear Stefan,
We recently upgraded our system from 5.1 to 6.1, and we started facing issue with control builder, when it rebuild search data it freezes and stops responding.
I've been told that it is a bug in the system, but frankly I don't believe that, do yo have an idea of what it might cause that.
Best Regards,
Osama

Depending on how your CB is setup in 5.1 vs 6.1, launching CB and loading the project may have auto-built your search index. There are some settings under the top Tools menu (Tools/Setup/Station/Search and Navigation Settings) you can check and uncheck to have it auto build on launch. These may be configured differently than they were on your 5.1 system. Also, be aware that this is a station by station setting, so you would have to change it for each station.
If you're project is very large the index (Rebuild button toggle) can take 5+ minutes to complete. You should see it indexing each library individually in the Control Builder dialog box. If this indexing action isn't taking place than I would follow Stefan's suggestion and contact ABB Supportline.

Hi Guys.
Same problem here. Midsized project with 3 AC800M controllers. Recently Updated from 5.1 to 6.1
Update search data in 5.1 Control Builder version takes 10 seconds
Update search data in 6.1.0-1 Control Builder version takes 5 Minutes.
The customer is upset.
At least I know it is a bug. Thank you.
Is there a TC out or should we wait until 6.1.1? If it is so, then I don't need to open a case.
I know the Control Builder since Version 3 released in 2002. Since then the search function has been a weak point in my eyes. I got the impression that this function has been fiddled with for ages, but never really produces an acceptable result. One little change in Program code and the rebuilt search data function must be executed again and again.
Best regards

Unfortunately, no idea (Control is not my main focus).
I suggest filing a support case with your regional ABB support team.
