Known issues 11.7 GSD interface 11.5 Project settings When using the COMOS database together with the PAA integration layer you have to set the following options manually: Open the project settings: Deactivate the option "General settings > Standard > Static link > Change from dynamic to static on first change" Activate the option "Automation > EI&C > Settings > Use search via classification for loops". Select "Create connection objects for connector types "E" and "I" (from 10.2 SP1)" from "Automation > EI&C > Connections > Connection mode" Symbolic address calculation and unusable database Note Unusable database caused by switching base objects to static Be sure to disable the following project options, otherwise the complete database will be unusable due to irreversible conversion of base and engineering objects. Clear the project option "General settings > Standard > Static link > Change from dynamic to static on first change". 11.6 Logic blocks Data loss when using standard logic blocks The logic blocks used in COMOS are no longer used in PAA. Instead, use the PAA functions. 11.7 GSD interface The GSD interface evaluates text information as it is stored in the GSD file. For some GSD files it is possible that the module name, for example, has leading or trailing spaces that are applied in COMOS. During data exchange with other systems problems can arise if the spaces are filtered by the system. In SIMATIC PCS 7 this results in a replacement of the modules not being possible (for example: PA139720.GSD). Note Exporting GSD file from PAA to PCS 7 The following characters should be removed from the GSD base object description. &, \, *,?, <, >, :, ", Ι 28 Readme, 11/2018, A5E44806344-AA
