[ISS Support Case] Dream Reports Database Override

Last updated: October 17th, 2025

Description

I have a client requirement to write values to the Historian Tags via Dream Reports. I would like to know the best way to achieve this ask. Here are the requirements 1. Dream report to display the value from historian (we know this is achievable) 2. Ability of a user to write data within Dream Reports and perform an error check 3. Once the data is validated and before the write operation is performed the user is required to sign and enter comments 4. This data gets written to either the Historian database OR Dream Reports internal database 5. Once values are written and the report is refreshed, the newly written values are shown in the report (This will be a mix of values from the Historian which remained unchanged and the changed values) Want to explore the option of somehow sending data from Aveva Historian to Dream Reports Historian where we can manipulate this data. I understand that we will not have a single source of truth, but this is a client requirement and they are aware of this risk

[ISS Support Case] Reports for Operations, Compatibility (?)

-Reports for Operations. -Has runtime management console. -When running report, automatically, no values. -Has to Restart the management console, manually run the reports, then there is information. -Customer is on 23H2 Build (2261.3737) , Compatibility Matrix only shows Windows 11 22H2 SAC Professional x64 as compatible. -He will need to consult with the security team, to see if they can go back to a 22H2 build. Overnight Reports are being generated as N\a. Something about the manager being left on for long periods. Yesterday I changed the generation time to soon after configuring it, and it generated fine, and if I click on generate manually it generate manually it's fine. But when I wait several hours for the report to generate after midnight it will push a report that is all N/A, except the 24th row which will have data. To fix it I have to restart the manager, then it starts generating correctly again.
