Re: [foxboro] OMI on DM

Dirk,

Are you saying that you have an OMI Server running on a Solaris box?

I wasn't aware that it was ever ported from Venix.


--------
OMI - Operator Message Interface
It allowed a sequence block to send it a message and it displayed the message 
on various process graphics. The operator could acknowledge the message. 

I believe it maintained a message queue as well.


Later, the folks in Baarn developed something similar - ODS - as part of RBatch.

I've never used either, but there are a number of such users and I've 
considered porting the OMI Server code to Windows if I can find the demand high 
enough to pay for it.

Subject: [foxboro] OMI on DM

Anybody out there using OMI (Operator message interface I believe it is 
called) from Invensys on a 6.3 unix system?
This OMI handles sendconf's from Sequence code and shows the sendconf's 
text on the display. It does not exist in Windoze

I have a problem with displays that show Strings, and discretes (text tied 
to Intgrs) on certain displays. When I call the display the strings and 
discretes are smurfed. When I refresh the display sometimes everything is 
ok, sometimes smurfed again. the smurfed objects show the correct strings 
and discretes, and seem to update ok, but the blue colour is anoying and 
gives the impression something's wrong....
When I delete the OMI message_ok object, the smurfing stops, the display 
looks ok everytime it is opened. When I import the message_ok again the 
smurfing starts again.

Strange thing is, it is only on certain displays, other displays work fine 
and have been working fine for ages using OMI. the problem persists on 
these problem displays and does not occur on any others

This OMI seems something exotic, I doubt if any of you use it but you 
never know, maybe someone at Invensys ever used it.....

Thanks & Rgds,

Dirk
