PI Distributor connection to OSI PI Collective
Hi Guys, I am working on a project to integrate data between OSI PI collective and Proficy Historian.
Does anyone know if PI Distributor can connect and send data to PI Collective (Pi Collective is a logical representation of 2 or more Physical nodes).
In Distributor Document, I found that Distributor can connect to PI server, but it does not specify if distributor is capable of connecting and sending data to PI Collective members.
Thanks in advance.

[v5.8] Optimize Terminal Server
Hi. We have a recent install of v5.8 on Server 2012 in a virtual machine running on Terminal Services. The network is a 1Gbit switch connecting the server to the operator PC in the control room.
The problem we have is pictures load slowly when opened. Caching is not disabled for pictures. Is there something we can do to have the pictures load faster?

use of system.collections.generic.list in VBScript
Hi,
because there are some issues on using C# scripts in Cimplicity 9.0, I'm trying to convert some scripts to BasicSript.
in C# a custom type was created:
public struct Part
{
public int PartNr;
public int PartID;
}
and this is used in a generic list:
List<Part> PartList1 = new List<Part>();
Does anybody know how to use this in Cimplicity Basic Script?
I made a custom type, but I don't know how to use this in a generic list...
It is possible to create a list with CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList") but I cannot insert this custom type in this list.
I want to create an object System.Collections.Generic.List but always got the error message "File name or class name not found during OLE Automation operation"

iFix Dual Monitor
iFix 5.8 SP1 installed on Windows 7, when using dual monitor display (on desktop PC), when one monitor is unplugged and then plugged back in ifix workspace will not expand to second monitor.
This is also a problem when using thin client connections to virtual machines.
The thin client has 2 monitors and ifix session is started and all is OK.
If the thin client is turned off the virtual machine resorts back to single monitor mode with ifix running.
when the thin client restarts the virtual machine brings back the second monitor but ifix will not expand to it.
Same as unplugging and re plugging a monitor to a desktop PC running ifix.
is the above issue by design?

Workflow error: "Failed to add object into context section"
Hi,
I'm having an issue with Proficy Workflow I am using build number 2.5.2.1814 in Demo mode running on Windows Server 2012. The software was working well up to yesterday afternoon.
The problem is as follows:
On start-up the software will automatically log in as admin (this is normal). Once logged on, the software will show the main Proficy workflow screen, the 'Personnel' model will be selected along with 'People' and 'admin'. The software displays the following error:
"Failed to add object into context section"
I can select each item from the 'Models' list without generating an error. I can select each item from the 'Quick Find' list for each Model item without generating an error. When I attempt to select an item from the next level, i.e. eSop >> Text Templates >> PWF Demo or Personnel >> People >> Admin, the error is generated.
If I attempt to log out, the software produces the following error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
I have cleared the cache folder, this had no effect.
I attempted to Refresh the Client Layout by deleting the client computer, I was unable to delete the client computer. The software produced the following error:
"Failed to delete Computer - <computer name> holds key set Material Configurator on this workstation"

Failover system - iClient connection
My customer has a failover setup with two servers iFix v5.1
When I enable maintenance mode, the connected iclients go to the secondary SCADA. What determines this? The SCU has S1 as the primary but with maintenance enabled the client goes to S2 (the secondary).

iFix User account not timing-out on HMI
Hello,
I'm experiencing a problem with a SCADA user account not logging out after the 'login timeout' has expired (as configured in the SCU).
The problem though is just with one particular view node PC rather than the user account itself - the timeout works on all other machines on site; it is just the one particular view node which does not logout. The machine, like other view nodes, is running iFix 5.1 on Windows 7. Does anybody know how iFix performs this timeout; does it simply look at the system clock to determine how long it's been logged in for? On that note there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the date/time or any settings relating to date/time. Any suggestions on things to check out on the view node?
Thanks in advance,
K

Webspace sessions disconnecting from node when more sessions are opened
System setup:
Scada server: iFIX 5.8 on a Windows server 2012R2
Webspace server: Webspace 4.8 on a Windows server 2012R2
When connecting 1 webspace sessions no problems.
When connecting the second session, the first session get the message "connection not established with this node". After a while the second connection get the error message and the first is connected and so on...
It seems that i can only have one session active with the node.

Scripting - Call function from another BCL file
Hi all,
I'm just starting with learning Cimplicity 9.
I was wondering if it is possible to call a function that is defined in another BCL file than the one you call it from ?
I found an example "CallAnotherBCL.bcl" in the BCE_Training project that uses the "Acquire" and "Release" keywords, but is doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks in advance,
Stef

Ifix 5.8 line multiline chart
Hi all,
I want to use a line multiline chart, but i want to keep the same flexibility in scripting as with the normal (Standard) chart.
In those charts you can script: Chart1.ScrollForward, SetTimeBeforeNow,...
Is there a work arround to have these advantages?
Or am i missing something?
Thanks and best regards.

iFix 5.5 OPC client write failures
I am porting iFix 3.3/W2K application to iFix 5.5/W7. It uses a custom OPC driver to communicate with a shared memory region (on the same node). The new iFix 5.5/W7 can read the data via the OPC driver, but cannot write. Windows Firewall is disabled. Are there different Windows/OPC security settings required in W7 different from W2K? Is the PowerTool interface different in iFix5.5 compared to iFix3.3 such that I will have to re-create the custom OPC driver using iFix 5.5 PowerTool toolkit?

Do tag event messaging
iFix 4.0
I have "Event Messaging" enabled and an alarm area assigned. When the DO value changes, it does not show up in the alarm file (*.ALM). I am writing to a SIM address.
Should a value change in the DO show up in the *.alm file? If not, where?
The ebooks say that an event message is generated when a value is written to the process hardware. Does this mean no event messages are generated when writing to a SIM address?

SCU Local startup definition...
Dear Forum;
When I use the command launch with /n parameter I set the node name to use with a SCU file.
Does it means it doesn't matter what I enter in the SCU Local startup definition window, it'll be overwritten by /n parameter in the launch command ?
Regards
