RE: Running FactoryTalk Optix as a Service 1.5.6

I also noticed that the name of the Process has changed. When I run the EXE from version 1.2 its called "FTOptixRuntime". When I so the same with an EXE created in version 1.5.6 its called "FactoryTalk Optix Runtime 1.5.6.0". You think that might be part of the problem? (1.2) ...

Sorry, I'm referring to running an FT Optix created EXE file from a Windows Scheduled Task. I can confirm that it was (and still is) working if the EXE was built using 1.2. However, the same Windows Scheduled Task is not able to run an EXE created using version 1.5.6.

Hi SHANE, I developed an FT Optix solution using version 1.2. At the time, this version didn't support running the FT Optix program as a service, so I had to export the "FactoryTalk Optix Application" to get the runtime EXE, then link that to a Windows Scheduled Task that would run the EXE on server ...

Thanks again, Reino. This worked on my local machine for the upgrade. For my customers server, will I need to re-license the upgraded version of FT Optix, or will the license automatically get picked up?

Thank you, Reino, this sounds like the best option. When upgrading FT Optix, do I just run the installer and it will handle the upgrade work for me, or is it more complicated than that?

FT Optix .NET Version

It seems that out of the box FT Optix runs .NET v6. Is it possible to upgrade that to v8 (or whatever the latest version is)? If it is possible, is there any documentation that guides someone on how to do it?

RE: FT Optix NetLogic HTTP Client Connection Issues

Found In Egroup: FactoryTalk Optix \ view thread
I had implemented what Fox had suggested shortly after the post, and it did force the TLS version, but it turns out that was not the root cause. I am still determining what the root cause is, but current suspicion is that it is related to allowed IP addresses in the customer firewall. The target API ...

I am using the NetLogic capabilities of FT Optix to make HTTP requests to an instance of Infor. I have been using Postman to confirm the functionality of the Infor API endpoints, and Postman is working fine, however, when I attempt to make the same request from the FT Optix program, I am getting an SSL ...

I'm wondering if it is related to the dev server I'm working on not having any entitlements activated. Does the FT Optix / Runtime instance you are working with have an entitlement installed/activated? Appreciate all the help! ------------------------------ Mehringer ------------- ...

Thank you for the response. I did install the runtime tools and the "FactoryTalk Optix Application Update Service" was installed. I was also able to deploy the application to the server (actually "localhost", FT Optix Studio runs on the same server that will run the application). I had to make the ...

Thank for the response and the link to GitHub. There are some good examples available there. I was able to work around my challenge related to the scope of the "LogicObject" by utilizing the following code. Not the most elegant, but it does work well as a way to get the current NetLogic Node if ...

I essentially need to run the FT Optix .EXE as a Widnows Service on a server in an IT data center. The program needs to start when the server starts and then continuously monitor PLC tags for value changes. When the tag value changes, then other events/integrations will occur. An added benefit ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually found the same StackOverflow post and tried it, but didn't have any success. From that same post it says the .EXE in "binPath" still have to be designed to support being ran as a service, which I don't think the built FT Optix .EXE is because I'm getting the below ...

Does anyone know if it's possible to deploy an FT Optix application in a way that it will be ran as a Windows Service (run on startup, respond to start/stop/restart, etc.)? I need the FT Optix program to essentially run as a service on a server with occasional access via Chrome web browser.

I'm working on a project that requires use of NetLogic for making web calls and logging results. I have some Objects with associated Runtime NetLogic (NetLogic "A") that are calling methods in another Runtime NetLogic (NetLogic "B"). In NetLogic "A", references to "LogicObject" (for NetLogic "A") work ...

FT Optix Logging Options

All, I'm trying to utilize FT Optix as an interface application that will mostly run without a UI component. Essentially, FT Optix will be looking at some PLC tags, and when those tags change, it will do something. Since this will not have a UI, the log files will be critical for monitoring/troubleshooting ...
