Tag not found in correct database [ERROR 288]

Tag UNDEFTAG not found in database DB1.DBF (defined in DB2.DBF) in A.G included by B.G

The tag mentioned was not found in the database used with the graphic. It does not work. This message tells you that you likely have a definition of what the tag should be to guide you.

This can mean:

  • Your build is flawed because the wrong database is associated with the console graphics.
  • A tag was created in Composer but not moved into the tag database.
  • In systems with multiple consoles and multiple taglists, it can indicate omitted tags that exist but that have not been added to the taglist where they are required. When individual taglists exist, you have to make sure that all tags you need in each console are in the taglist for that console.


This message is likely to show an error in the system configuration. It should be reviewed. The issue raised may be in unused logic or graphics, or have other realities that make it a non-issue.
