Remote Locking and Isolation

To Query the Lock and Isolation states of all on-line locations by selecting Query > Global States > Locking & Isolation, to display the Query Location Lock & Isolation window.

Note:
The upgrade to the .NET framework means that the WCF Proxy used in PDMS Global Client no longer supports query interfaces which return data. This means Query Location Lock & Isolation functionality is no longer supported with Global WCF. (it is still available if RPC is being used). This does not affect the PING and Extract commands which continue to work as before. The Locking and Isolation functionality and other Global WCF queries continue to be supported in AVEVA Admin.

You can Query the Lock and Isolation states of the location selected in the list by switching the Lock and Isolation buttons on and off. If a button is on when click Apply, the relevant information will be shown next to the Lock and Isolation gadgets. When the window is first displayed, these gadgets will be set to Unknown.

The Remote > Lock & Isolation option allows the System Administrator at the Hub or a Satellite to control the lock and isolation states of on-line Satellites. The Global daemons must be running.

The process is interactive, and you must wait for a response (or time-out) before continuing. This option is only available at an on-line Hub.

The Lock State and Isolation State option buttons show the current state of the selected location.

The Message text gadget allows the user to send a message to the Free User at the remote location if one of the states is changed. The maximum length of message is 80 characters. The message will only be sent if the commands succeed.
