Re: [foxboro] RE : AIM Historian BAD POINTS

I use omget to search for bad points. First do a histsave, and strip out the 
alarm point records to get a list of historian points.(using excel/word) Next 
create a omget data file which attempts to read each point. If it exists you 
will get a value, otherwise an error so then you can then go to the point 
config and delete it in the historian.
Just another note. If you delete it in the historian you wont get your original 
point added back into you license unless you undelete it. 
This means deleting 1000 points costs 1000 points in you license. The only 
workaround found was to batch out the points and recreate the historian to 
recover the license issue, or complain to your sales guy for a upgrade to the 
license. 
The recreation of historian means loss of all previous data since the mapping 
is different in the point numbers.

Dale,
 
Although not elegant, you could use   /opt/fox/bin/tools/som
 
on the host of your AIM Historian.
 
Once you execute som, then type:
 
opdb
 
This will give you rows and columns on your CRT.   Under the column  "Lbug"  
you will see the letterbug of the host of the historian.  If it is a large 
historian you will see many rows with your letterbug under the column.
 
m opdb
 
will give you more pages of rows and columns. Hitting Carriage Return or Enter 
will repeat the last command  (  m opdb) until you see the message  Operation 
Complete"
 
For each row where your letterbug is listed note the row number under the first 
column (001, 002 for example)
 
The type 
 
opvr 1   (for 001)
 
and  
 
m opvr   (until you see the Operation Complete message)
 
This will display a Compound:Block.Parameter   that you recognize.  Underneath 
the   C:B.P  you want to see the word    "Scanning".  This is good and it means 
that the C:B.P is a good point in a controller somewhere.
 
If you see the words "No Response" underneath the C:B.P  then it is a bad point.
 
All of this could get confusing if you have application programs that open 
lists on this host or display managers (FV or DM) or remote display managers 
running off this host. But perhaps it will help you.
 
If it is possible to stop the AIM Historian, you could run som while historian 
is OFF and see what lists are not from the historian then re-start it to see 
the numbers for the new lists and you could check the new lists for "No 
Response".
 
q to quit som.
 
Regards,
 
Terry

Objet : [foxboro] AIM Historian BAD POINTS






Hello List.


I use IA Ver 6.5.2 and run  AIM 3.2.4 Historian.  The older versions of
this AIM used to give you a list of BAD Points (ie points historized but
may not exist in your CP anymore) that may be in the Historian when it
started up....in some log file under /opt/aim/inst.  It doesn't seem to
do this anymore with the newer version.  Can anyone help me in finding a
tool that will do this or point me in the proper direction?


Dale Gillis
