[ISS Support Case] Historian Data Gap On Appengine Failover In SP Version 2023 R2 P1

I am seeing an issue with SP2023 R2 P1 related to appengine failovers. When I cause an appengine failover, data (primarily analog) has a gap in the trend until the data changes. Sometimes the gap stays but sometimes the gap is "filled" in for some reason. I'm having a bit of a consistency issue trying to replicate this problem. Every time I cause a failover, the results are slightly different but I do see bad results. To demonstrate this, I created two videos to show what I'm seeing. If someone can create a problem ticket and reach out to me, I can forward the videos to InSource to show what I'm seeing.

[ISS Support Case] Viewapp Instances unable to see alarms

-We have a few viewapp instances that we have deployed and they are currently not able to display alarms on the system. and in the OCMC we are seeing it connect and disconnect each time we try to pull up an alarm page. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The System Platform we are using is 2023 R2 on an OS Windows Server 2022 Datacenter. The issue is for all alarms coming into the Viewapp instances, it was previously functioning but we had to change the historian and update all of the platforms. There arent any errors that seem applicable but the following screenshot of the alarmmgr connecting and disconnecting happens whenever we open up an alarm client. 9/10/2024: -Updated Customer on where we stand at this moment. We've escalated this issue and await Case Assignment from Tier 2 Support. 9/12/2024: -Update from customer, Fixed it by deploying an object that was higher up in the hierarchy. This was a Parent/Child relationship, and the Parent was not deployed out properly.

[ISS Support Case] Request for Elaboration TA 00045875

Tech Alert 000045875 was briefly available on the GCS site and described an issue with a set of .NET updates but has since been pulled. Client has observed intermittent issues when those updates are in place. Extensive testing has been done and they are not using the .NET methods outlined in the article. With those updates in place creating a new galaxy from the 'Blank Galaxy' template results in an occasional error message from PackageServerNet (Access Denied) which is an indication 'the problem' exists. Once the galaxy is created, the GR node sometimes won't deploy or if it does deploy, sometimes the logger will explode with errors/warnings. Finally there are times the platform will deploy fine with no apparent issue. Applying the fix in the article does resolve the issue (based on the messages in the logger). Client has follow up questions.

[ISS Support Case] Microsoft .NET Hosting Bundle install / uninstall Inquiry

Direct Email: wanted to provide feedback on the below regarding downgrade of the CDP 2023 R2 to CDP 2023 when upgrading to System Platform 2023 R2. I followed the steps below to uninstall CDP 2023 R2 and then attempted to install CDP 2023. At the prerequisites screen I received the following message that .NET 6.0.5 was unable to be installed. Upon checking it looks like CDP 2023 R2 already installs .NET 6.0.25 and it did not allow the earlier version to be installed. I could not continue the installation until I manually uninstalled all the .NET 6.0.25 components. After doing this, the CDP 2023 install worked as expected and initial look it appears to be functional. My questions are: 1) Is this the expected behavior for this downgrade? 2) Will uninstalling the later .NET 6.0.25 cause any other issues with the System Platform install?

We have set up a new Windows 10 vm and have installed Opto22 OPC Server, and Aveva 2023 version of License Manager, Historian, and OI Gateway to replace the XP platform. The View application on the Windows 10 View Application platform can not "see" the tags from the new OPC server platform, although the Historian can see them in the Operations Manager under Data Acquisition. Under the OI.GATEWAY3 OPC group, there is no trace of the tags. I am not sure if we are missing a component that needs to be installed, or if we have not configured it correctly.

I'm finding that sometimes, the platform on the GR node does not automatically startup as it should upon the GR Node completing its reboot. I'm testing this as best as I can to find an easy way to replicate this and find a pattern. At this point, I can find none. I just simply reboot the GR node and this happens. I will say this seems to happen every 3-5 reboots but I'm not sure. This is happening with the Certificate Server disabled.

[ISS Support Case] Issue Deploying ViewApp

Client reached out as he was neither able to deploy/undeploy ViewApp. The ViewApp was stuck in data synchronization status (orange Indicator). I attempted to undeploy both with/without "Marked as Undeployed When Failure" checked. but it continued to fail and was showing as deployed. I attempted this on each level. (Winplatform, ViewEngine,ViewApp) When attempting on ViewApp error message stated that previous deployment had not been completed. Each of these attempts was unsuccessful so I requested the user shut down the target node which allowed me to undeploy the platform and then unassign the ViewEngine and ViewApp to troubleshoot them separately. Once they were separated when trying to deploy Winplatform received error message about Platform ID mismatch so I exported the platform and then deleted it and created a new one. After this I attempted to deploy the Winplatform and received error: "Unable to Deploy Platform - Failed to get bootstrap's version" Requested that client put in port allowances for ports in the range 49152 to 65535 and Bootstrap.exe. (support article 000035913) Confirmed pings between GR node and target node as well as correct PC name being used in configuration. After this attempted to deploy Winplatform again which led to this error: "Error Failed to deploy Winplatform : The installations version is different from the one in the remote node." Checked versions and Application Server Version on GR node was 10.6.002 and target node was 10.1 so updated target node to same patch version and the same error message persisted.

[ISS Support Case] Some items not resolving in OMI when GR node down

When the GR Node is down, when you bring up OMI and look at some screens, items are not resolving to the underlying objects. The thing is, some screens/items resolve fine and some don't. Based on my experimenting, I think if you look at items prior to the GR Node being unavailable, then they can still be seen after the GR Node goes down. But, if you are looking at items which weren't viewed prior to the GR Node going down then those items won't get resolved to the underlying objects causing loss of data on the screen. I'm guessing when you access something it is cached somewhere on the system so the OMI screens know where to retrieve data from when the GR Node is down. But if you never visit a page within OMI, that information cannot be cached so the screens don't know how to get the data since the GR Node is down and can't help. We are moving to implement SP2023 in the near future. This needs to be reviewed and assigned a high priority level.

Regularly seeing not specific time roughly once a day. Closing View App and Reopening Nothing in the logs during that time frame (seeing messages about going into demo mode). OI Server (running) Happening on the RDS server GR is license server (no apparent licensing issue) Usage details have supervisory server license -> 1st RDS server supervisory - > thin Clients. Should we see all the thin client licenses in usage details > like to understand if I RDS server and a back UP RDS Servers > Thin Manager installed serving up thin clients > What the proper way to All Licenses should be unlimited Hard to pin point when it happens they dont always know (if they fail could have been happening for hours).

[ISS Support Case] Failure to Write to Tag Topserver

This is a brand-new tag/attribute. It represents a command to tell a GE 800 (Commend Intercom System) to dial and connect a remote intercom station to a master station. The GE 800 takes care of the leg work of the connection but listens for the commands. The GE 800 has a proprietary protocol call ComADAPT which requires the user to purchase a separate software server (i.e. middleman software) called ComOPC which allows us to interface indirectly with the GE 800 with OPC UA. For us to communicate with the middleman software via OPC UA, we must use TOP Server since the built-in Application Server OPC DI object only supports OPC DA. Thus, we must use the suitelink object to communicate with TOP Server which communicates with ComOPC with OPC UA. I was able to send the command perfectly (the same item name) using a standalone OPC UA client like dOPC Explorer (OPC Free and Freeware Downloads from Kassl) and the TOP Server quick client too. That narrows down where the issue might be.

The application is not reflecting the changes made on the development note. This sounds like there may be an issue with the process hes using to back up the application on the NAS and that in touch isnt fully getting the new back up with the changes made on the development note I spoke with the customer and asked is the remote note not set up to receive the updates from the development note automatically he said no that that is not something theyre interested in doing. I recommended trying to place the old application in a new folder removing the path thats in the InTouch, application manager, and browsing for the new application with the development updates to see if those changes are reflected, when launching the application. The changes did not display. I requested a screen recording of the process hes taking and Ill be checking to see if this is way is supported by Aveva

Successfully got galaxy and MES migrated from 2014R2SP1P02 to 2017U3 on an AVEVA Integration Studio intermediate image. No warning or errors. Then tried to create a CAB file from that galaxy and bring into 2020R2 (yuck-no go, still hundreds of errors) Then tried to export all of the objects and graphics that are needed and then create a clean image import 3 sLIB files o aaFactMES.aaSLIB o aaMES.aaSLIB o FactMES.Controls.Utilization.aaSLIB Then import the graphics (including MES DT and button bar controls from the 2017 U3 objects) Then import the bulk of the objects last This process produces the least amount of errors, but still produces them. Some questions: 1. Should I get new sLIB files instead of bringing the ones over from 2017? a. If so, where do I get them? 2. Same questions as above with the MES graphics a. The MES component graphics seem to be problematic b. Should I replace the graphics in 2017 intermediate with new MES graphics? c. When I bring the exported graphic objects into the new 2020R2 galaxy, there are multiple errors and the eventual objects are blank (no graphics) 3. Then when I bring in the big object import, it has problems with the missing graphics from step 2 Going to try a clean, new galaxy this morning and then wait to do step 1 until we communicate further. Do I need to send you a copy of the errors from the first time?
