Re: [foxboro] Default Alarm Historian in Alarm Manager

You will have to edit the /usr/fox/wp/bin/mk_glbls file,
and look for HSTNAME=$HIST . Change $hist in the historian name you want.

Manager


                We have FoxView and AIM*AT 3.02 at our site.  When a    WP
gets rebooted, or
                the Alarm Manager gets restarted for some reason, the Alarm
Historian name
                must be selected from the "Historian" button on the Alarm
History Display
                (AHD).  For the "Historian" button to work, you must have an
access level of
                zero.  We have recently decided to lock out the Console
Supervisors from any
                access level zero functions. This means if a WP reboots in
the middle of the
                night or on the weekends, the console guys have no access to
the AHD until
                someone in the Control Group comes in and resets it for
them.

                My question is, is their any way to tell the AHD what the
default historian
                name is?  I know I can change the "Historian" button to work
on a different
                access level, which would solve the nights/weekends problem,
but I'd prefer
                to go a step further and just tell the AHD what the correct
Historian name
                is on boot-up, since we only have one Historian anyway.  Has
anyone solved
                this problem?
