Factory talk view studio Machine edition

Your tag database for that project is corrupt. Search for "unable to save tag database" at AB's Knowledge base and there is instructions on how to fix it at the first link. Also, be aware that the HMI Project folder that your project is stored in should not be compacted to save disk space. (I've run into this on occasion).

1. Shut down RSViewME Studio
2. Open a Windows Explorer window and browse to the following directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\HMI Projects and locate the folder that contains your application name and open it.
3. Select the folder Tag and open it. Delete the .cac file in the Tag folder and then return back to project name folder.
4. Select the Cache folder and delete the RDMdata folder.
5. Close and reboot the PC.

You've saved my life :)
It solved my problem. The difference is I restart my laptop first and then followed step3 and 4 and open FT view and then I could create my runtime (no more message "unable to save tag database")

Thank you so much!!

My issue arose because I tried to save the .mer file in a directory which I didn't have write access to(Due to windows user access control).

Once I saved it in a directory, the error was gone. Something to look out for. :geek::geek:
 
same issue deleting the files didn't help. trying on another PC didnt help. i suspect something to do with march 2021 patch rollup to ftsp, but rolling back didnt fix. ugh.
