BDM - activation issue in 800xa 5.1 FP4 Rev D
I have 800xa 5.1 FP4 RevD system.
When i open BDM through Engineering workplace, BDM gets activated automatically.
However, if i try to open an excel directly & try to activate BDM,it doesn't work although the necessary excel-addin's are available.
I use MS Office 2013.
Not sure if there is any setting left?

In 800xA 5.1 Rev D FP4 System when used with MS Office 2013, BDM is not working. It is not getting added to the add ins.
Following is the workaround (excerpt from FP4 installation)
1. Download and install the following from Microsoft website:
1. vstor30.exe
2. vstor30sp1-KB949258-x86.exe
2. Go to command prompt and execute the following command:
32bit Operating System:
"C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\Function Designer\bin\BulkSPLbin\BulkSPLInstall.exe" "C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\\"
64bit Operating System:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\Function Designer\bin\BulkSPLbin\BulkSPLInstall.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\\"
3. In the below location C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\Bulk Data Manager\bin
run “CleanBDMRegistry” and then “LBEInstallAddins”
Thanks.

This is a known issue in FP4RevD. BDM is supposed to be activate from 800xA engineering workplace only and not directly from Excel.
