Troubleshooting menu
The following debugging choices are appended to the Server’s System Menu (the menu
that appears when you click on the Server icon in the upper left hand corner of the
Server's window):
Suspend Protocol/Resume Protocol -- these choices permit you to turn protocol
processing on and off, what means that you can suspend access to
the SPA bus.
Show Send -- if checked then all outgoing data is displayed in ASCII format.
Show Receive -- if checked then all incoming data is displayed in ASCII format.
Show Errors -- if checked then all information about errors is displayed.
Show Rejected Writes -- if checked then information about rejected write messages is
logged.
Show Logger -- if checked then SPA Internal Logger is activated and all debug
information is going to SPA Internal Logger. The SPA Internal Logger
file is named as: SPA_YYYYMMDD.LOGn, where YYYY is a year,
MM -- month, DD -- day and n -- order number of consecutive SPA
Internal Logger file, starting from 1. The maximum size of SPA Internal
Logger file is 16 MB; if there is more information logged then next
consecutive file is created, e.g. there can be consecutive files SPA
SPA_19991013.LOG1, SPA_19991013.LOG2, etc.
Dump -- displays all information about opened ports, active topics and data
items.
Dump Devices -- displays all information about successfully defined SPA devices,
data categories and bus codes in the Unit Definition File.
Dump Screen -- if checked then information about active read messages are
displayed on the Server main window. Can be used for debugging
purposes.
All debugs (except DumpScreen) are displayed by the Wonderware Logger or (and) SPA
Internal Logger if Show Logger checked, which must be active for these commands to
work.
Note. If you check Show Send and/or Show Receive then debug output grows very fast.
