Synchronization Error Log File

OpenPlant PID now generates a log file (OPPID_Sync.log) to record errors during the synchronization process. The log file is located in the following location:

...\Users\$User$\AppData\Roaming\Bentley\OpenPlantPID\Logs\

The error information, such as Instance ID or GUIDs in this log file can be used in conjunction with the Component Selection dialog to identify the components which have caused errors during the sync process.
