Issue
Need to change the value of the same property in multiple VAV controllers without having to go to each individually.
Product Line
TAC IA Series
Environment
I/A series (Niagara) R2
Cause
The site or database has a reoccurring controller that requires the same change to be made for each device. There is a need to an efficient way to perform this task across the entire site.
Resolution
The servlet is named AdminTool and it can be found in the Tridium core runtime jar in the apps folder. The AdminTool object allows you to perform an online global search and replace of a property value. The object is detailed in the Niagara Standard Programming Reference starting on page 6-18. Use of this can be somewhat tricky as it is sometimes difficult to get the settings correct (e.g. names, filters, etc.). It is a good practice to setup a test station and test the "search and replace" statement before performing the search and replace on the actual station database.
