Validate Tags

Note: Only run the validation of the link database while the Batch Manager is not running. The validation of a large set of tags may impact the operation of Batch Manager and cause unexpected failures.

To initiate a validation of the Link database, click Validate on the File menu.

Note: All shared variable type tags must be created prior to validation.

Validation ensures that:

• All Foxboro DCS Tags (Compound:Block.Parameter o Shared Variables) exist in the Foxboro DCS system.

• Model Tag Data Class and Foxboro DCS Tag Data Class are compatible. Valid Classes are listed in the following table.

  The Foxboro DCS Linker dialog box is blank while a validation is in progress.

• Model Tag and Foxboro DCS Tag Data Access configuration are compatible. Data Access refers to whether tags are Read/Write or Read Only.

  Note: The Validate menu command is not available when Foxboro DCS components are installed on non Foxboro DCS systems.
