Marc,

Yes, that is common problem we have seen.  One recent occurrence was when we 
upgraded a workstation with AIM 3.3.x from XP I/A v8.2 to v8.4.4.  We haven't 
resolved it yet.  I have been told, though, that it might be that there are too 
many alarm messages in the historian.  We only keep 60 days, so I'm not sure 
that is the problem.  It's also been hit or miss if it works since going beyond 
FV10.2 on our XP I/A v8.2 Operator workstations and beyond I/A v8.2 on our AIM 
hosts.

Subject: [foxboro] AIM and CAD History

All,
We had an interesting call for one of our facilities yesterday and I wanted to 
know if anyone has seen this.

About a year ago, we had deleted several point out of the working historian 
(AIM 3.3) in order to free up some points to add others back.  Operations has 
informed us that they no longer have alarm history within the CAD displays.  We 
reconfigured the AIM database to collect alarm messages, but when testing, 
historical alarms were not present.

Anyone know of anything else that should be changed in order to enable CAD 
alarm history?  CAD is in fact pointing to the correct historian and its 
connecting and the historian is building the m* files in its directly.

Help, advice, encourage words always welcome.
