Marc,
That does sound like the error message we were getting after the upgrade I
mentioned. However, I just went to check the exact error message and it is
working again. Go figure. What I think it has to do with is what QF's (might
not even have to be alarm system related), Commit, and maybe even XP Service
Pack (Operator and AIM are both XP workstations) that your CAD workstation has
and your AIM workstation has. I say this because that is the only thing that
had changed on both workstations to break it and then fix it again. I will say
that the AIM version now working for this scenario is from QF1146394.
Thanks,

Good comment, however when CAD connects to AIM, the message displayed is "no
alarms in database".

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.
