Hi, I appreciate this is forum is more PLC based but if anyone could assist me with a SCADA issue. Namely Archestra IDE it would be appreciated.    Problem: I need to delete two pumps off of a mimic that is being governed by Archestra IDE. The galaxy is being hosted from a server PC.    My question is… If i make a Edit to the runtime program do i need to reboot the program on the server PC or does it automatically update? Same question with the slave HMI’s. Do i need to go around rebooting them after the change or do they update like an online edit? Also do i need to make any changes to the application server or historian that is running on the PC? Thanks in advance. 

Hello, I have a vision system that is logging images via FTP to a computer running a published InTouch application (Wonderware 2014). I would like to add a feature to the application to display the last captured image to aid in debugging the vision system. I suspect I would need to write a script that periodically checks a folder for images and retrieves the most recent image. Can InTouch be extended to display an image based on a file system address?  Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cam

Hello All, I am using InTouch 10.1.301 and Archestra 3.1.301. I am attempting to use an archestra trend client with intouch historical data. I am not using the wonderware historian, rather the intouch LGH files archived on a network client machine. I also would like to use indirect tags to configure the archestra graphic and have built the custom properties to do this. My goal is to create a trend window using indirect tags, script naming the indirect tags for the pens when the window is called. As of right now, I have a very successful real time trend that refuses to load any historical data. The regular Intouch trend client loads the historical data without issue. TROUBLESHOOTING THUS FAR:I have set up the Historical Sources tab of the trend client to the LGH file share and set the UNC path. I have set up each of the Pens in the trend, and pointed their historical source at the name of the historical source in the historical sources tab. I have verified the historical source of InTouch is the same as the UNC path set up in the trend. I tried calling WW tech support and their recommendation was to use Memory tags vs indirect tags. This was the dumbest thing a tech support has ever recommended, but I went with it anyway. All this made me have to do is script the direct tag values to the mem tag values along with all of the dot fields AND have to create a "while running" script to update the mem tag value every second, because mem tag values are only updated when something triggers the value update. And it did nothing to pull in the historical data. I tried using direct tags and cut out the indirect and mem tags. This did nothing to pull in the historical dataI moved the historical source in both the trend setup and intouch setup to directory local to the Galaxy Repository. I found this article http://logicupdates.blogspot.com/201...endclient.html and I made another archstra symbol with the trend client, and configured it as recommended, no custom properties, pointed the pen directly at the direct intouch tag, and configured the historical source, also pointing the pen history at the source and directly to the intouch tag. ANNNDDDD its a stripped down real time trend with no history. I am getting very frustrated as all documentation and sources indicate this should be possible, WW tech support says it is possible, but I cannot get anything over tier 1 support on this version. Does anyone have any ideas?

I am trying to export the Modbus points lists from a DAServer in Archestra SMC but I am getting an error message shown in the attached image. All options are greyed out and I cannot export the points list from the PLC node. I know there are points configured on the PLC node because data is updating the the InTouch application. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Hi everybody, I do some projects on wonderware system platform on differents workstations: i work on the same galaxy in many workstations. I imported an object that exist on both workstations A and B  but were renamed on the workstation B . the import was from A to B. now i'm unable to deploy/undeploy the object or delete it :( I try to rename the object in the workstation(galaxy) A and import the object with overwrite/rename options...NO WAY!! I have this errors: Failed to undeploy A: this object AAA won't be undeployed because it doesnt't exist on this engine. However another object BBB exists on this engine and has the same id as the object bein undeployed. how can i change the id to try? Thanks

I have objects like this $Template1 -Instance -Instance -Instance -Instance -Instance -Instance $Template2 I want to move the instances over to the second template (they should derive from that template). How do I do this?
