Client and Server Software

[Quebec]

Context :
- Server with LabView6.0+DSC, FieldPoint (engine running), SCF file
- Client with LabView6.0+DSC, no engine running, no scf file

I want to see, on my client, the value in Real Time, The history, The alarms and Ack Alarms.

I have no problems with :
- The value in real time, I use DataSocket Connection to connect directly my indicator on my server
- For the hisory, I use the "Functions-->Historical Data" and I point to my citadel database which is located on my server

But for the alarm:
- I tried Network tag but this manner create a RTDB and a citadel database on my client side. I want to have only 1 database
- The only manner that I have is to use "Monitor Tag" and search the tags in the server machi
ne. I didn't find a manner to see the alarms and Ack it on my client.

please help me

It sounds like their is a problem in your client/server setup if you have separate databases on your client and server computer. You should only have to create one database on the server, share the database directory over the network, and use it for both machines.

An excellent step-by-step resource for building a networked client-server application is the DSC online help. Select "Help >> Datalogging and Supervisory Control" and read through the "Networking and Deploying Applications" section. Specifically, the section on "Importing network tags" should also be very helpful.
