The mkmact utility was only used on the AP20 to "make the menus acvtive". Optimization has always been a 2 callup scenario. First callup..finds all variables and their owners, i.e. CP's .,..historians...etc. Once a display is optimized...it is good until the next time someone makes a change to the display..or a variable that was once a valid point has now been deleted. There has never been the need to reoptimize a display after a bootup. In the old days there was a script that was in the user notes that would allow a user to optomize all displays in a directory. This script was only used after day0 software upgrades where displays need to be reoptomized after restoring them to the harddrive. > -----Original Message----- > From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx@CORP On Behalf Of "Schweda, Alfons" > <Alfons.Schweda@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 2:05 AM > To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [foxboro] AW: Fox View screens > > > in the early fox-days (about Software Version 3.x in 1990) we've used=20 > the command "/usr/foxbin/mkmact <Dispname>" to correct this problem on > AP20. > I can't remember exactly how this tool worked but it optimized the > displays every > time a AP rebooted.
