Hi:
First, my list of software that I actually using in my application.
FTView SE 8.3 Network, FT VantagePoint 7.00, SQL Server 2008 R2 x64, Windows Server 2012 std x64
I am using FT VantagePoint to trend data from SQL Server (databases created and populated with datalog in FTView SE, 1 datalog per database).NOT using Historian (low reliability and I don't like the "cutting point" interpolation that makes to my data).
I also have the license for the db connector. When I try to add more than 2 connectors (I want to use 1 connector per database) shows that I have license only for two connectors. Is like that? A USD 3000 cost license for only 2 damned connectors???? This means that I will have to group all my 100 logging tags in only 2 databases to use 2 connectors??
Assuming the previous point and using only 2 databases, the other issue is when I trend my data whit the Trend in VantagePoint (after created connector to the database and populated with tags), can't poll historical data. It only shows live data when I add the tags to the trend. If I stop Live Mode and restart, the trend only shows live data, it means that the Trend start drawing the pen from actual time. Obviously with this issue, I can't go back in time to consult previous data. How can I know if the Tag Provider is pointing to the floatTable, where my historical data is?
With native TrendX from FTView SE, I have no issues, but I can't use the features of trace data, stadistics, etc that VantagePoint bring.
Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
Thanks
