Chronological Browsing features are used.
Refill Historic View
Clears the current contents of the View and loads as many events from the main Historic
Event Log as the View can hold, in ascending chronological order. Only those events that
satisfy the Categories to Show selection are placed into the View. Of all applicable events
the newest are selected.
Historic View, Categories to Show
Each historic logging event, generated by the UIM, is assigned to one category by S&C,
based on what part of application’s functionality it belongs to. This is done to ease filter-
ing and sorting. Category assignment is described in greater detail in the Historic Events
section.
This feature allows you to select which categories of events will be displayed in the His-
toric Event View. For example, if you want to view only IntelliTEAM-related events, set
the “ITII” category to “Show” and all other categories to “Hide”.
ITII
- IntelliTEAM Messages
DNP
- DNP Comm Messages
UIM
- Messages describing the interaction between the UIM and External
Device
LOG
- Maintenance Messages
Note that enabling and disabling categories does not cause events to be accepted or dis-
carded for placement into the main Historic Event Log, the feature solely applies to the
Historic Event View buffer. In the same way that the category of the event is ignored for
the purposes of placing it into the Historic Event Log, the Logging Level of the event (see
above) is ignored for the purpose of loading it from the Historic Log to the Historic View.
Therefore, if Logging Level was lowered recently so that Historic Log still contains events
that would not be logged after the change, Historic View may also end up having these
events, even though their level does not match the present Logging Level setpoint value.
Chronological Browsing (static mode only, no refill):
Since the size of Historic Event View is only a fraction of that of the main Historic Event
Log, it is necessary to be able to navigate through the Log chronologically. This can be
accomplished in two ways, using these two features:
NOTE: Chronological Browsing features are only taken into account when View Mode is
Static and do not apply in Real Time mode.
Search By TIme
Loads into Historic Event View up to 160 (size of the View) events that occurred at and
immediately following a certain time. Only events that satisfy the Categories To Show
selection are placed into the View.
If all events that are currently in the main Historic Event Log occurred before or after the
time specified here, the oldest available events are selected for placement into Historic
Event View.
Historic Event View is refilled as soon as the timestamp is entered; the timestamp is cleared
once the refill is complete, to avoid confusion.
