This came up not so long ago with another client. It seems that the DM
variables are created with a special version of obj_create() that does
not announce the creation of the variable.

Since the (re)creation is not announced, the CP's OM can't reconnect to
it.

The work around was - are you ready for this? - on reboot:

1) Delete ALMCNTK0AW02 using omdel
2) Create ALMCNTK0AW02 using omcrt

This will cause the variable to be announced to the system.

I've never personally done this, but I've been told that it is working
at another site. I'd suggest trying it on a test system first.


If you happen to have AOS on your system, you might be able to do this
without the delete/create by using aosReconnect. I've never tried it
with a Shared Variable, but it ought to work.

/opt/aos/exe/aosReconnect ALMCNTK0AW02

should do it.


Hope this helps.

Subject: [foxboro] Global Variable Connections

Hi,

I have a link to a global variable for an IND block.  II0001 =3D3D
ALMCNTK0AW02

When I reboot the workstation that global variable is deleted.  When the
rebootation has completed and the global variable is created again, my
link in the IND block (II0001) stays OOS and does not update.

Does anyone know a way of getting my link to work after a reboot?

Thanks
Sean
