citadel object not working

[bkinard@kinardcontrolsyst]

I am having a problem with the Citadel Control object in Lookout 6.2. I have used this object many times in the past but for some unknown reason, the object cannot find the process to archive it. As shown in the attached picture, the process name is "\\SCADA\SSW\*" which should archive all traces in the process, but it gives me an error as highlighted on the alarm screen.

I have tried using "*" instead of "\\SCADA\SSW\*" but I get the same result. I have verified the folder location of both the live and archived databases. I am hoping that this is just a syntax error on my part.

Note: I downloaded and ran the remote archive example from NI and tried it using my variables. I realize that the example is for a "remote" computer but the citadel control never made it past finding the "*" trace pattern. Ended up with the same error.

Your target path is not correct. To database needs to be an actual Citadel Database not a folder path.

Thanks, that took care of it. Created a new database with M&A explorer and it fixed the problem.

You got it. Glad to be of assistance.
