Hi, I have received some Historian data like .pdi files. How can I open these files?
Maybe by PI process book, but I don't know from where I can download this software.
Many thanks!!
edit:
I have just seen that these historian data belong to another Historian vendor (OSISoft), so I think it isn't possible to open them.

Had my historian server have a corrupt .ihc file after a server restart- after i fixed that issue with copying the backup copy of the .ihc back into the server- the server will collect the realtime data and show trends but when i try to restore and of the backup arcived data files, the data dosen't appear even when the restore is successful- is this an issue that i need to make a case for or is ther a know quick fix.

Late last year i started updating a project to iFIX 5.1 workbench from desktop. all went well with little issues. this week i revisited that project and ran into an issue that wasnt there before. when i go into runtime i get a Microsoft Visual Basic Complie Error: Automation Error: It opens the VB editor and hilights this
Private Sub CFixPicture_Activated()
user.CurrentPicture.CurrentValue = Me.FullyQualifiedName
End Sub
i checked the Globals and there are still there, i have deleted all of the .EXD files as per some earlier posts no go.
i created the same setup onanother box and everything worked fine.
Any ideas on where else to look?
thanks

Newbie questions...
Any documentation or guidelines for capabilities of using development key remotely to make changes to IFIX running production equipment. I have seen many ebooks but not on using development key.
I have a machine with a dev key running IFIX 4.0. I can access production machines over the network to make changes. I have modify the Tag databases in run mode. I can open pictures of production machines across the network, while they are in run mode and make changes. Just because I can and have, and not been burnt, is this the proper use for a dev key?
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

I would like to have the "GetFormNumeric" form (
see KB14244) placed near the Rectangle object in VB; however, I'm having problems with the screen size (logical, pixel, and/or percentage). I've read this thread
here, but still can't figure out why the form doesn't get placed near my Rect. Here's the code:
Code:
Private Sub Rect_SP_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim blnFetch As Boolean, SPVar As String, XPos As Double, YPos As Double
Dim dHigh As Double, dWide As Double
SPVar = strSPVar.InitialValue
XPos = Analog_Alm_Dyn.HorizontalPosition
YPos = Analog_Alm_Dyn.VerticalPosition
dHigh = Analog_Alm_Dyn.Height
dWide = Analog_Alm_Dyn.Width
Me.LogicalToPercentage YPos, XPos, dHigh, dWide
If blnDataEntryFrmFlag = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
GetFormNumeric
Numeric.GetTheLimits h:=9999, l:=0
blnFetch = False
Numeric.IsAlpha a:=False
Numeric.GetTheVars a:=1, b:=SPVar
'Position of data entry field
'0 = Manual (Specify Left and Top)
'1 = Center Owner
'2 = Center Screen
'3 = Windows default (upper left)
Numeric.StartUpPosition = 0
Numeric.Left = XPos * 130
Numeric.Top = YPos * 83
Numeric.Show
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
HandleError
End Sub
This is part of a Dynamo I've been working on called "Analog_Alm_Dyn". The script retrieves the HorizontalPosition, VerticalPosition, Height, and Width of the Dynamo similar to a Rect. The HorizontalPosition starts at 2.85, VerticalPosition = 3.15. The position of the form needs to be somewhere around Left=370 and Top=260. The trick is, I have several Dynamo's on a picture and once I have the one lined up correctly, the others don't!
Thanks.
BTW, my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 (Landscape)

Hi All..
Can any expert please tell me how to communicate between iFIX and GE PAC8000 PLC? I have used PAC8000 workbench for the logic building. Now I need to develop graphics in iFIX and link them with the PLC real time data. As I am using iFIX for the first time, i am stuck now.
Please provide your expert suggestions in this matter. Thanks!:)

Hi GE Forum members!
This is the first time we are using PAC8000 PLC in conjunction with iFIX5.5 as HMI/SCADA. We are wondering if there is any specific IO driver required for iFIX communication with PLC or iFIX will directly communicate with PLC?
If there is a specific IO driver, can anyone please tell its code name and where can I download/buy that?
Thanks!

On a SCADA Cimplicity 6.10 system I encounter the following problem:
When a Cimplicity project is restarted, all the data from the virtual points is erased and brought back to a last known situation. This last known setting does not correspond to the initialization value filled in in the point configuration in the workbench.
For example a date is stored in a virtual point to remember when the specified equipment was calibrated. The initialization value is filled in as 06/08/2006 (date when engeneering started). When the calibration is done, 12/01/2013 was filled in. After a restart of the project 12/02/2008 reappears. This value is consistent after a restart.
I traced the value back to SAVED_POINT.stg under the log folder. The file, as found in other threads is not clearly readable but in notepad the date is readable at the specified calibration point.
I tried changing the way points are stored under the project settings point. It seems that 'On point update' or 'On project shutdown' does not make a difference.
Does anyone know the problem or know where to look in the cimplicity configuration to find out the problem? Thanks in advance:

Hello,
I have a relatively new install of iFix v 5.5 and it will not run. I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit Operating System.
The problem seems to be very similar to the problem listed in
this forum post. It seems possible that the OPC software is causing a problem. I was able to run iFix before I installed Industrial Gateway OPC Server 7.58. I have tried ending several running processes (including all of those that I can identify to be related to IGS), but it has not alleviated my problem.
After I restart the machine and attempt to launch iFIX, I get the following:
After Restart
When I try to run the software again, I get this:
Second Attempt to Run
Here are all the running services on this machine:

Thanks for your help.

I have a server node named SCADA12 and a server node named SCADA21. Both of these servers have IO drivers, databases, and iFix graphic screens. I will be combining these two nodes into 1 server called SCADAXX. I know what I have to do on the iFix side with the IO servers, database, screens, tag groups, etc. I don't know what I need to do on the existing Historian side. Historian is collecting data from both servers. Will trends still work? Will the data be seamless? Do I need to export all Historian data out and then re-import as a different node name? Thanks for your help.

Hello,
We're trying to install Cimplicity 8.2 in a Windows 7 Professional (Spanish). We install DotNet 4.0 and then when we try to install Cimplicity Server, a message box appears displaying the following message:
You must be running Windows XP SP3 or later to continue.
It seems as if Cimplicity installer doesn't find the OS correctly.
We're doing this through a remote desktop but we're installing with the files copied locally in the virtual machine.
Does someone have any clue?
Thank you in advance
Sorry, problem solved, I should run as administrator directly Server Setup from CD browser instead of using install front.
