Hi David, Attached a dump (in Excel) from the AIM sys mon message table. This data is retrieved through an ODBC connection. Note we had some issues in AIM-ODBC, however these are very nicely resolved by FoxMass. Below the AIM definition of the message table: 1 CREATE MSG "LEGACY SYSMONMSG" DEFN "GROUP = 1,Y,STRING,32" DEFN "MESSAGE = 2,Y,STRING,32" DEFN "TIME = 3,Y,LONG,1" DEFN "TIME_TAG = 4,Y,STRING,21" DEFN "VALID_TIME = 5,Y,SHORT,1" DEFN "MONO_COUNT = 6,Y,SHORT,1" DEFN "SEQ_NO = 7,Y,SHORT,1" DEFN "PRIORITY = 8,Y,SHORT,1" DEFN "MSG_NAME = 9,Y,STRING,11" DEFN "SMON_NAME = 10,Y,STRING,9" DEFN "STATION = 11,Y,STRING,9" DEFN "SRC_NAME = 12,Y,STRING,27" DEFN "TEXT = 13,Y,STRING,81" Regards Otto Kubbenga -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Johnson Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 1:37 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] Sysmon messages from AIM* 1) I remember AIM (before it got splatted by Invensys or SimSci) when it was a Biles & Associates product. 2) I am still in search of a good way to extract sysmon messages from AIM*. Currently we are working on ODBC calls from VB to get these, but unlike the sample data (which we have working), the message data doesn't appear to have a table name (that we can figure out), even though there are messages in the historian. I hope someone has the answer to this, because the forehead is begining to ache.
