Lost the full action list when right click the JOB in ESP Workstation Workload Director

Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Where you right click on the jobs in the Workstation Workload Director GUI, it should show the list of actions to perform different functions. Now it only has 4 choices there.

Environment

Component: ESP Workstation GUI
Release 11.3

Cause

This can be related to ESP Workstation Startup.txt file corruption.

Resolution

Copy the good Startup.txt file from a working ESP Workstation.

Note:
- Normally the Startup.txt file locates:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Broadcom\ESP WA Workstation\bin
-  In Windows 11, the path can be as below:
C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Broadcom\ESP WA Workstation\bin

Additional Information

In Windows 11, the term "virtual program files" typically refers to the files that are redirected by the User Account Control (UAC) virtualization feature.

This feature redirects write requests to protected system directories (like Program Files and Program Files (x86)) to a user's VirtualStore folder, which is located in C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore.

This redirection allows older written applications to access protected files without requiring administrator privileges.
