Chad, An omread error indicates that the ICC was unable to connect to the source of the data, i.e., the block of interest. This could happen for a lot of reasons (this list is not complete): 1) The CP is too busy to respond to the request for data 2) The CP lacks the resources to resp

We have been having a problem uploading for the past year. We have not successfully done an upload by hand through the ICC in that time. We have a CAR out but as of yet have no help from Foxboro. The upload's fail at random points in the process. The errors in the log file are an omread() tim

At the time of the I/A release, the system is made as current as can reasonably be with respect to the several hundred patches that Sun provides. The Y2k CDrom has on it a set of Sun patches that make the release more current. Is there a specific Sun patch that you would like to see added to the

We have had a lot of success with Aspen's InfoPlus/21 Data Historian. It is a true realtime relational database and SQL works superbly with it. It also works great with other ODBC compliant programs such as Excel and Access as well as DB to DB connectivity. Chad Airhart Instrumentation & Contro

If you would prefer not to lose your alarm history when the historian restarts or the AP reboots check out QF990113B. Description at: http://www.csc.foxboro.com/shared/qf/QF990113B.htm Download at (may require login): http://www.csc.foxboro.com/content/qfbin/QF990113B.zip That should take care

Hi Stan, What is the known Solaris bug & what is the Sun fix? Any idea what the patch might break if one applied it before Foxboro evaluated it? I know Solaris is the operating system Foxboro used as a base for our I/A, but I don't believe our software is the same as the Solaris you could b

Stan, You're right, it has virtually no comments. It is exactly as I got it from HH714 with just enough changes to make it run on my system (I removed some hard returns that may just have been caused by my transfering it to my system). I should note that alm_txt.sh is just the name I used on my

2000-05-05 Thread Clement, Mark
Yes the buffer is cleared on reboot or if you shutdown/restart the historian Actually the file in question (buffer file)is copied to almhist.bak on reboot or shutdown of historian - so you could still retrieve the alarms by modifying the script My 2 Cents for what its worth Mark -Original

I grabed this script, and took a look at it. Firsy of all for such a complex script is has remarkably few comments :-) Isthis script suppposed to return all alarms that are in the alarm history buffer? This would be a maximum of 5000 alarms correct? Ir i
