9.2.2 Log Viewer in Distributed Systems
When working with Log Viewer in a distributed environment, you must understand
the details of the following additions, modifications, and applicable conditions.
Additions
System Name column - A column named System Name has been added as an
additional column that displays the name of the system to which the source object
belongs. As this is an additional column it must be explicitly added to the Log View
Definition using the Select Columns dialog box.
Modifications
● View-Specific Columns - The column names of the view-specific columns such
as Object Designation or Object Location in a distributed system depend on the
presence of the views in a single system or multiple systems. Consider the
following examples in which 3 systems (System 1, System2, and System 3) are
configured in a distributed system.
– A User-Defined View (UserView1) is present in System 1. In this case, the
name of the Object Designation column will be Object Designation
[System1.UserView1].
– A User-Defined View (UserView1) is present in System 1 and System 2. A
second User-Defined View (UserView2) is present in System 3. In this
case, the name of the Object Designation column will be Object
Designation [MultiSystem.UserView1] and Object Designation [System
3.UserView2].
Conditions
● In a distributed environment, the Detailed Log tab displays the default template
of the system that is associated with the currently selected object. For example,
if an Analog Input object belonging to System 1 is selected, then the default
template for System 1 is loaded in the Detailed Log tab.
● The default log view template in a distributed environment is system specific.
So, if there are 3 systems configured for a distributed environment, each
system will have its own default template.
● The log view size in a distributed environment is system specific. So, if there
are 3 systems configured for a distributed environment, each system will have
its own view size.
