Tracker data logging files overview

Two files contain configuration information about PRT and RCO data logging.

Datalog.idt	Lists the tables that PRT and RCO log to.
Data_field.idt	Defines the fields in each table.

Configuration information is passed back and forth between the Database Logger and these configuration files.

If you change a logged field that has other fields after it then you need to update the offset field to reflect the change in size. So if you change the ATTR_NAME record to a field_len of 32 you need to change the offset field of the ATTR_VALUE to 68.

Example

Datalog.idt

A	Tables are listed in the Database Logger.
B	The same list displays in the datalog.idt.

Data_Field.idt

Fields listed for the ALARM_LOG in the data_field.idt are the columns in the CIMPLICITY alarm logging file, ALARM_LOG.

Common Tracker data logging tables

Tables that will almost always be listed and defined include:

Table Name	Logs:
ALARM_LOG	Alarms
EVENT_LOG	Alarms for events
PRT_GRP	PRT groups
PRT_ITEM	PRT items
PRT_REG	PRT regions
SPLIT	RCO information
$DEFAULT	Point data
PRT_ITEM_ATTR	Extended attributes
RCO_SITE1	An RCO site. Note: The RCO site name is used instead of RCO SITE1.

Important PRT logging tables naming requirement

Important

Three tables that are automatically included in the datalog.idt and data_field.idt are:

PRT_GRP

PRT_ITEM

PRT_REG

The PRT in these file names refers to the PRT service ID .

If your project uses a different service ID, replace the PRT with your service ID.

Example

1. You used the POMS Wizard to create a POMS project.

2. The service ID that POMS uses is OMPRT_DC.

3. The three PRT log table names need to be changed to:

OMPRT_GRP

OMPRT_ITEM

OMPRT_REG

Each RCO site that should be logged must be added to both the datalog.idt and data_field.idt files.

Steps to edit Tracker data logging files

Step 1	Edit the datalog.idt.
Step 2	Edit the data_field.idt.

More information

	Step 3.5. Set (region) logging options.
	Step 9. Set RCO alarming and data logging in the TrackerCfg_UI.
