I have to do something in a Foxboro running Venix 2.1 and Informix. What i have to do is to make some app that save the history of some variables and send it over an ethernet network. I have never used Foxboro so I am quite lost here. I was thinking about making remotely (from a normal PC) queries in the informix DB to retrieve the historics values that, supposedly, are stored in the Informix DB. The first problem i found was that i werent able to access to the informix db. I run isql in both the ap20 and the three pw workstation and it show me no databases. How can i access to the db so? The other thing is how to hook any point of this system to some network technology used theese days. I read something about NodeBus being some kind of ethernet modified. Is this possible to hook a normal pc with an ethernet card to this nodebus and access the network of the ap20 and pw's? Finally, i dont know if the historics values are stored in the informix db or somewhere else. I found out that the alarm history is kept in a normal txt file. I would really appreciate any help you could give me about this. And generally any information about foxboro and venix in general in order to help me solve this issue.
