I will try some of these pointers out next week as I'm filling in for =
vacations this week and not near any of the Foxboro Terminals. Thanks =
for the info guys and I'll keep you posted. Anybody else with ideas =
please be sure to drop me a line.

Subject: Re: [foxboro] RE=A0: AIM Historian BAD POINTS
I use omget to search for bad points. First do a histsave, and strip out =
the alarm point records to get a list of historian points.(using =
excel/word) Next create a omget data file which attempts to read each =
point. If it exists you will get a value, otherwise an error so then you =
can then go to the point config and delete it in the historian.
Just another note. If you delete it in the historian you wont get your =
original point added back into you license unless you undelete it.=20
This means deleting 1000 points costs 1000 points in you license. The =
only workaround found was to batch out the points and recreate the =
historian to recover the license issue, or complain to your sales guy =
for a upgrade to the license.=20
The recreation of historian means loss of all previous data since the =
mapping is different in the point numbers.

Dale,
=20
Although not elegant, you could use /opt/fox/bin/tools/som
=20
on the host of your AIM Historian.
=20
Once you execute som, then type:
=20
opdb
=20
This will give you rows and columns on your CRT. Under the column =
"Lbug" you will see the letterbug of the host of the historian. If it =
is a large historian you will see many rows with your letterbug under =
the column.
=20
m opdb
=20
will give you more pages of rows and columns. Hitting Carriage Return or =
Enter will repeat the last command ( m opdb) until you see the message =
Operation Complete"
=20
For each row where your letterbug is listed note the row number under =
the first column (001, 002 for example)
=20
The type=20
=20
opvr 1 (for 001)
=20
and =20
=20
m opvr (until you see the Operation Complete message)
=20
This will display a Compound:Block.Parameter that you recognize. =
Underneath the C:B.P you want to see the word "Scanning". This is =
good and it means that the C:B.P is a good point in a controller =
somewhere.
=20
If you see the words "No Response" underneath the C:B.P then it is a =
bad point.
=20
All of this could get confusing if you have application programs that =
open lists on this host or display managers (FV or DM) or remote display =
managers running off this host. But perhaps it will help you.
=20
If it is possible to stop the AIM Historian, you could run som while =
historian is OFF and see what lists are not from the historian then =
re-start it to see the numbers for the new lists and you could check the =
new lists for "No Response".
=20
q to quit som.
=20
Regards,
=20

Objet : [foxboro] AIM Historian BAD POINTS
Hello List.
I use IA Ver 6.5.2 and run AIM 3.2.4 Historian. The older versions of
this AIM used to give you a list of BAD Points (ie points historized but
may not exist in your CP anymore) that may be in the Historian when it
started up....in some log file under /opt/aim/inst. It doesn't seem to
do this anymore with the newer version. Can anyone help me in finding a
tool that will do this or point me in the proper direction?
