Jack,
If I recall the 8.4.2 upgrade seemed to be a fairly insignificant and
quick upgrade for workstations using only one CD and taking only a few minutes.
I don't think the 8.2 splash screen accessed from the Initial display gets
updated so it was hard to tell if 8.4.2 was really installed. I do know it
caused the symptoms described by you plus some others.

Everything we have is 8.4.2(although it was done piecemeal), and the
symptoms are the same on all workstations. I lean towards it being an
AIM Historian issue, as only 3 out of 7 AIM Historian alarms come up
with the "No Alarms Found" error message in Alarm History, no matter
which workstation you use. I see others have the same issue and have
gotten no help from Fox either.

Jack,
We hit this problem as we were trying to upgrade from 8.2. When
we upgraded the historian server to 8.4.2 none of the 8.2 boxes could
call alarm history from it. If we also upgrade two workstations out of
sixteen then those two workstations could call alarm history from the
8.4.2 historian server. But the other 14 at 8.2 could not. Check to see
if the wotkstations that aren't able to call alarm history are actually
at 8.4.2.
There were a lot of problems with alarms and CAG's Common Alarm
Groups introduced at 8.4.2 because Foxboro changed the underlying
communication mechanism. If you go from 8.2 to 8.4.2 it is best to do
it all at once or you will likely have some funky problems with the
alarm substructure.

Yes, this is exactly our situation. We are at Version 8.4.2. What was
the solution?

Are all of your boxes at the same software rev. There was a known
problem that we experienced when I was in Hawaii when we upgraded from
8.2 to 8.4.2. This was one of the symptoms. No alarm history.

Three out of seven of my Alarm Histories are not working (No alarms
found error message). However, the AIM Historians are saving all of
these recent alarms, as I can use apitst to see them. The problem is
just with the Alarm History callup.
Anyone else experience this???
