Historian connection to trend displays
We have recently merged two separate 500 point historians into one 1000 point historian. Now half of our preconfigured trend displays are looking to the wrong historian for their data, thereby showing no data in the trend display. Is there a utility (I seem to recollect hearing of it some time ago) that I can run on my trend displays to re-associate them with the correct historian name rather than having to manually reconfigure each trend display?

RE: Historian connection to trend displays
We ftp'ed the trend files to a Windows PC, used a Windows utility called vedit (www.vedit.com) to do wholesale editing of the trends, then ftp'ed the files back to the Sun box. It's a little kludgy, but since you only have to do it once, it's not too bad. vedit is shareware. Good luck! -- Duc M. Do Dow Corning Corp.

Re: Historian connection to trend displays
Michael, Try the Foxboro utility d_edit (there will be several versions on your system depending on your platform. We use d_edit50 for our 51 series boxes. The utility documentation is under something like: Display Reporter and Connection Editor. For the first couple of trends you change, try using the -dump and -upload features, you take a display file, generate and editable listing with d_edit50 -dump filename (makes file filename.dmp) use your editor to modify the trend references, and upload with d_edit50 -upload filename where filename is the original display file name. Using -dump and -upload makes it easy to see the changes you are making. After you've seen just what needs to be changed, it should be easy to use a script to quickly make those changes on all your trend files.

(Another good reason to use it) perl -p -i -e s/old_hist_name/new_hist_name/g; file ( or * if you want to do a whole directory ) This command does an 'in place' edit of the display file and does a text substitution of the historian name.
