RE: Report Writer

2000-12-28 Thread Nic Glenister

G'day Noman,

I have a similar situation occurring at one of my sites (although it
occurred on demand reports as well) and raised a CAR (see #165).

Apparently, if you are using a Style B control processor (I guess this would
include a CP60) and an AW that is NOT a Style E there is some kind of speed
mismatch that will not allow the Report Writer to extract more than 29
consecutive parameters from a CP.

Has anyone else had an experience that can confirm/deny the above?

I'm told that the target version for a fix for this is V6.3, but I think
I'll test it first before informing the customer.  Does anyone know what the
official release date of V6.3 is?

I hope everyone runs suitably amok on New Years Eve.

 Hapy New Year to all .

 In our company we have report which is used to collect data from
 the object

 (not in the
 same one). But if we demand the report . The report will be complete and
 without any missing.
 Pleas help me in solving this problem

Re: Report Writer

2000-12-28 Thread Stephen Murray

Hi Norman  Nic,

  We have various problems with the good old Report Writer (and legacy
Informix historian).

  One of our reports broke after upgrading to I/A version 4.3.  It was a
two page report that would only print the first page (the second page had
only the missing data dashes - - - - -) when run from the scheduler.  When
run on demand it would work fine.  FoxTac never could duplicate the problem
when I sent the report file to them,  never could come up with an
explanation.  Finally got tired of calling them  created two separate
single page reports.

  This report had 24 hourly averages from about 25 points, was running on an
old AW51B and CP40s, and worked fine under 4.2.3.  Nic's idea about the
timing sounds like a likely cause of our problem.

FoxCAE 4.0

2000-12-28 Thread Stan Ruth

Greetings for the new year!

I have a question about FoxCAE, version 4.0.  I have a database already
residing in a CP that I want to backdocument, and would like FoxCAE to
generate a tag list from the CP database.  Is this possible under version
4.0?

It's fixed. There is no description that I'm aware of in the documentation
other than a discontinued system messages B0 book.

Sorry about that.

Stan,

Those files configure what shows up in the Alarm Manager. Not what
goes to
the printer.



So is the format fixed?


And where can i find a description of it?

Thanks.
