Wonderware Historian

Hi Good day,

Is there a way or default tag that can monitor the connection of wonderware historian? or What is the best way to monitor if the Historian is actually running?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Joe

Hi Joe.

In the past, I have integrated a wonderware syntax that allows a lookup in the windows task manager for checking if certain programs are running etc. This could work....

If memory serves me correctly- this was done on a 11.1 application.

Here is an example below:

{Microsoft Notepad}
InfoAppActive(“Document Name - Notepad”);

{Microsoft Excel}
InfoAppActive(“Microsoft Excel – Spreadsheet Name”);

{Usage in a conditional statement}
IF InfoAppActive(“Microsoft Excel – Application Name”) == 0 THEN
{Start Microsoft Excel}
StartApp “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Excel.exe C:\SpreadsheetLocation\Spreadheet.XLS”;
ENDIF;

If you are using Application Server you can create a Platform for that server and monitor to see if it is atleast online. This is making an assumption if the server is online that it is collecting data.
