[ISS Support Case] Incorrect Decimal Formatting in Graphic Animation Value Display AVEVA Application Server 2014 R2
Last updated: October 17th, 2025Description
The customer, using AVEVA Application Server 2014 R2 on Windows Server 2012, reported an issue while configuring graphic animations involving string value display formatting. Specifically, they were working with a graphic that displays a numeric value derived from a tag (of type REAL) and wanted to display the value along with its engineering units, formatted to two decimal places. Within the graphic animation's value display configuration, the customer selected the String option in the State Options and attempted to construct the string using the recommended syntax from AVEVA, which typically follows this structure: StringFromReal(Value, IntegerPrecision, StringType) + " " + EngineeringUnits However, the customer initially used the following format: StringFromReal(Value, 0.00, StringType) + " " + EngineeringUnits This produced a runtime display showing the correct value and units, but with more decimal places than desiredthe customer wanted to limit the display to exactly two decimal places.

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.
