David,
I am guessing the report package being referenced is "Q0301RA I/A Series
Report Package" but I cannot log into iastore to confirm it. It is/was the
only Windows-based report package ever offered by Foxboro as far as I know;
it is about 15 years old from memory. List price was about $10K. It is
Excel based and can be scheduled to create Excel files on the installed
server so there is not any need to generate paper. It will extract data
from any of the AIM and/or legacy Historians. Whomever would be allowed
access to the server could access the report files, or they can be ftp'd to
a corporate server. However, it is a scheduled (hourly, shift, daily,
weekly, monthly, etc.) type report package (uses Opalis scheduler), not a
batch oriented report package. I have used it many times...

David,
There is an officially sanctioned Report Writer for AW70's. It comes with a
scheduler as there was likely some deficiency in Windows scheduler. It has
been running on many sites for many years. It is not informix based so
there is likely no method to convert your existing reports. But if you had
questions about converting existing Informix reports, you could contact the
Systems Engineering group at Invensys in Montreal.

not proven by me.

be print-screened on demand, but the bulk of all of our old report
generation has been migrated to our plant PI Historian, which is more
accessible to the office people who usually want these reports.
