Hi, using FTV 9 in a distributed network. I have a project that logs a pretty good bit of data and has lots of trends.
I noticed every now and then I started seeing the 'Loading Historical Data Files...' popup window on my clients every now and then, and especially when network is slow. It seems like if I make a mistake on entering a trend tag name, the popup gets really bad, sometimes makes FTV unusable until I correct the tag name to match whats in the datalog. I'm using file datalogs currently.
The other day, I was doing some work on my trends and datalogs, and all of the sudden, now the popup is just about constant making the HMI very hard to use. I've double checked all my tags and everything looks good.
1. I see people taking about deleting log files for possible corruption, and I know where they are, but do I delete all the files in the specific datalog folder that I'm working with, or just certain files?
2. Changing Log Path - if I change log file path, would this have the same effect as deleting the log files? I don't mind loosing my data if I can solve the popup window problem.
3. I've thought about switching all my datalogs to SQL where my alarms are being logged, but I'm not sure that will solve the problem, because whatever happened seemed to happen really quick and when I was making changes. It wasn't a gradual change.
4. Any other tips on how to troubleshoot this problem?
