RE: Re: Scripts to backup CP database and CSA to an alternate sta tion

OFHA has some problems that won't be resolved.  See CAR 100053 and you'll
find that OFHA will skip filenames when they are more than 14 characters in
length.  The CAR response recommends I rename these files so they are
shorter kinda strange since they're either SYSTEM or FOXBORO created
files.  The CAR also states that Foxboro has NO intentions of fixing this
problem and have turned it into a PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT...

If you are using model 51 stations, you should consider using the OFHA 
product that is included in the baseline software supplied with AW51s and 
AP51s

Yes I'd be happy to donate them. And I don't consider it an intrusion. 
Thanks for doing such a good thing with the
Cassandra Project. I wonder how long it will be before we see Foxboro 
using the Project as a selling point.

Hi Ed,

Sorry for one more intrusion: I forgot to ask you if you are donating
your ez_archive scripts to the Cassandra Project? If affirmative,
please let me know so I can add the proper GNU Open Source text block
to the files. Thanks!

AW/PW 70's

2000-05-01 Thread Glen

Can anyone tell me what hardware works the best for AW/PW 70's?
We are having lockups on our Dell PC's and no lockups on a generic
box.  I just want to eliminate the hardware issues before I dive into the
software differences (if any).

Thanks,

RE: AW/PW 70's

2000-05-01 Thread marci . sewell

I have used a number of different machines as AW's and WP's including: Dell,
Compac, IBM, and NEC. I didn't notice much of a difference on any of them as
far as performance.  The only regular lock up I used to encounter was on a
DELL. It occurred when transferring graphic files to a WP and would  only
happen when I copied a large number of files. I never pursued the issue
since I was planning on replacing the machine with a Compac server and only
had to live with it for a short time.

XVision on Win98

2000-05-01 Thread Duc M Do

Got a weird one

Currently we use SCO XVision to show remote display managers on our PCs
for engineering work. (XVision is equivalent to Hummingbird eXceed.
Corporate IT dictates that we use XVision instead of eXceed.) The
particulars are: XVision version 7.0 32-bit server running on Win95,
IBM Pentium 133 MHZ PC with 16 or 32 MB RAM.

In preparation for new desktop PCs being deployed this summer, I'm
testing the same XVision software running on the new machines, which
also are IBM machines, but at 600 MHZ and 128 MB RAM running Win 98
Second Edition. We will still be using DM. No Foxview.

Here's the weird one: I cannot pick any of the data entry areas on the
Select screen. With two DMs coming from the same Sun box, the one on
the Win95 machine works fine, the one on the new Win98 machine works
almost as flawlessly, except for this glitch. What's going on?

Anybody?

RE: XVision on Win98

2000-05-01 Thread Johnson,Alex

Just to be sure that you don't have a protection problem, do this in a
command tool or VT100 window:

/usr/local/pref -dmName DMCMD dmcmd unprotect all ; dmcmd enable omsets

where dmName is the name of the DM that you are having the problem with.


I'd start here because I've seen lots of sites where for one reason or
another the DM works like this because it is configured wrong in the dmcfg
file or the environment does something.

This will eliminate that potential problem.

Classic historian data location(s)

2000-05-01 Thread Stan Brown

I am trying to find out where the classic: historian stores data. Is
it in the Informix database? Or in the flat files called samples?

I just located a refernce on bacing up Informix databases, and I was
wondering if there were other dynamic places that historian data might
be kept.
