Using EntryID

When selecting the Check BRCB EntryID option on the Reports tab without the automatic files (.EID) option, an application must perform the next procedures to work properly:

1.Create in the application, or import via Tag Browser, the EntryID Tags available in each Buffered Report and in use by this Driver. This Tag's value is a Text-type and represents a sequence of bytes.

2.If users do not know whether a Buffered Report is in use, please check the list of BRCBs, as described on topic Reports Tab.

3.Create in the application an Internal Tag for each EntryID to sync. This Internal Tag must have its Retentive property configured to True. NOTE: Starting with version 3.2 of E3, users can also perform this procedure using XObject Properties, which can have their Retentive property enabled directly.

4.Each Internal Tag, or XObject Property, must receive value changes from the corresponding EntryID via script or Link.

5.When starting this application, there must be a script that writes the value of each EntryID according to the value of the corresponding Internal Tag, which must be updated according to the value sent by the redundant station. At the end of this process, a special Tag must be written indicating that the process of writing EntryID properties ended and this Driver can resume initialization. This Tag must be configured with the next properties.

Name: FinishedWriteEntryID

Device: ServerName

Item: FinishedWriteEntryID

 

Any writing operation is enough for this process to be accepted.

 

NOTE

If the EntryID check option is configured, this Driver only resumes initialization after writing that Tag.
