AlarmSummaries and Journals (SOE)

Hi Mark ,

Are you using both Alarm Summary and SOE pages in your project? If not, you can turn the one you aren't using, by setting one of the following parameters:

[Alarm]

DisableSOE = 1

or

DisableSummary = 1

With regards to the folders and binary files created, that is somewhat abstracted by the alarm database backend (managed by ClearSCADA). I think using date / time on the file you should be able to figure out what was the latest.

But I just wonder what you are trying to achieve? Is it to backup this file so that it can be restored at a later time? I wouldn't recommend manipulating these files directly. It is best to go through official interfaces.

I recommend reviewing the help topic: System Model > Alarms > Archive the Alarms History > Configure the Archiving Parameters

Also check out the SOEArchive() function.

Kind regards

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for your response as always! I got some information from Aveva support about this and everything is clear for me now.

regards,

Mark
