RE: FTO odbc dabase configuration

@Restituyo Vargas and @asemlucben, I would like to caution others about solution 3 mentioned above (Uninstall the ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server and Manual set the ODBC connection in Optix (without DSN)). If you have FTView SE (mine was V15) this may cause problems and SE will not function after removal. ...

RE: Optix Web Embed to PME Schneider

Just to be clear, you are attempting to embed an Optix Webpage inside an iFrame in PME? Not embed PME webpage inside Optix? Thanks, Darren -------------------------------------------

RE: Optix & InfluxDB

@AutomationGuru, I would recommend setting up a separate installation of InfluxDB (the latest 2.x release). This will give the best experience and a supported deployment. If you have runtimes and embedded Optix devices they can all record their data to this "remote" InfluxDB instance. @Xavier Florensa ...

@AutomationGuru, You can find the version included in the Optix Version you are using by looking in "C:\Program Files\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Optix\Studio 1.6.4.11\FTOptixRuntime\1.6.4.11\Win32_x64\third-party_attributions.txt" For the path above for a Windows deployment it is showing "InfluxDB ...

Now maybe to clarify that the WPE setup in my example above is also HTTP only and not HTTPS. You can not have mixed content (secure and non-secure content in same web page) with the CORS restrictions. I would assume your project is set to use HTTPS for your WPE configuration? --------------------- ...

Not sure what you mean by the "won't add into the WPE remote list". We have our own embedded web server in our optix application and due to the connections from the remote client we have to enable access to that connection and the connections from the clients. All are HTTP and web sockets without TLS. ...

Can't say that I have seen that problem, but maybe I am on a different version of Optix, SQL Client Library and Version of SQL Server. Maybe some hints about the configuration you are using. Thanks, Darren -------------------------------------------

I think first time I used it was V20. Don't remember what the obscure reason from RA was to try it. That and the export L5K and import into new project are my last ditch attempts for weird problems that no one has seen before. -------------------------------------------

As Shane mentioned I would try to compact the ACD file and then download to the PLC when not in production. I would get a fresh upload, go offline and then use "compact" about halfway down on the file menu. If this is a critical program make a backup of your fresh upload before doing this. Actually, ...

I doubt myself all the time. If you mouse over the field it is also defined as a URN, which typically is a URL style link to a namespace, but have also seen those accept file based references. It really depends. I would have really expected the data type for that field to be a URI. ----------------- ...

Thanks and I know it is somewhere as I have seen all the caveats pointed out to address based on the platform it is being executed on. Have not been able to find it anywhere since this discussion. -------------------------------------------

Ok, the ask would be what is the development team comment on defining a full path as part of the filename for an embedded database so that the project will continue to use the intended database when run as the emulator or the deployed application on the same PC. Ex: "C:\OptixDB\MyEmbedded_DB" VS ...

I do not think this is a hack. The documentation is lacking. There is somewhere I have seen this described as it also discussed the differences in Linux vs Windows vs an embedded device like an OptixPanel or Embedded Edge Compute. Just wish I could find it again. ------------------------------------ ...

Ok, to build off of what @asemlucben is saying, you can format the display value in the data grid, by using a string formatter and using the format specifiers that are listed in the online help. [Converters --> String Formatter] Since this is mostly following the C# string formatting sometimes you can ...

I think I learned this in the documentation, but I have not been able to find any references to this while thinking about this thread. Anyway, if I remember where I found this awhile back I will post. It may have been in this forum somewhere. -------------------------------------------

Define it as part of the Filename: Place the DB you want it to reference in that location or when the application is run it will create it on startup at that location. -------------------------------------------
