Cross Reference Reports
The Cross Reference Report can be used to find where points have been
referenced in the server database. It can be used to list the following types of
references for the nominated points:
• Custom displays (numbered displays, but not named displays)
• Trend sets
• Algorithms
• Reports
• Source address for another point
• Application program point lists
To configure a Cross Reference report:
1 Click the Definition tab (see “Configuring a New Report” on page 243),
select Cross Reference from the Type selection list, and enter the report
definition details.
2 Click the Content tab.
3 In the Point ID(s) field enter the point ID you want to report on, or use
wildcard characters to report on a number of points. (See “Using Wildcard
Characters to Specify Report Data” on page 246.)
4 If you want the report to include points that are not implemented in the
database, select the Report on unimplemented points check box. For
example, you might report on unimplemented points if you need to check
whether any displays are still referencing a point that you have deleted.
5 Select the Use Previous Cross Reference file check box to use the cross
reference file generated the last time the Cross Reference Report was run.
If there have been no changes to the database since the last time you ran
this report, you can save time by selecting this option.
If this option is not selected, the report examines the database and produces
cross reference files which are then searched for the specified points.
Viewing Used Algorithm Blocks
Running the Cross Reference Report produces a file that lists used algorithm
blocks. The file is called algmap.rpt and is located in the server\report
folder. For example:
server\report\algmap.rpt
