Frankly, the best way to do this is one of the following:
1) Add FoxAMI to your system and store the messages there
2) Use a PC as your "alarm printer" and one of several 3rd party
packages to capture the alarms.
After that the options are worse,
1) The I/A Series Historian maintains a FIFO queue of 5000
alarms/messages. There is a tool to dump this file, but it is really a
pretty worthless archive.
2) AIM*Historian can record the messages, but it does not have a GUI to
dump the data or a command line tool; you will have to write them or use MS
tools on a PC.

Subject: Process Alarms
Hi all
Has anyone done any work(or have examples) of extracting process
alarms from
I/A and converting to text type file ?
Do they reside in the historian or informix or some other file
system ?
Thanks In Advance
Mark
