Monitor Data Transfers

AVEVA Measurement Advisor acts as the process monitor for all of the data download or upload processes performed by AVEVA data connectors to third party systems. This includes processes for multiple SCADA systems if the Measurement Advisor instance receives data from more than one SCADA system.

If CD_USE_SCADA_DATA_CONNECTOR is set to "Y" in AVEVA Measurement Advisor, the Scada Process List is visible and provides the status of the AVEVA Measurement Advisor Data Connector For Autosol Communication Manager (ACM), including information on the following:

• The Request Connector process, which sends gas quality data to the Autosol Communications Manager.

• The Database Process agent, which transforms the ACM data being sent to AVEVA Measurement Advisor.

• The Data Connector process, which sends data to AVEVA Measurement Advisor.

   Selected Fields on the Scada Process List

   Field	Description
   Checkin Threshold	The time interval in hours that is used to determine if the process has failed to check in. The lastModTime column shows the last time that the process has checked in. When the screen is opened or refreshed, it will calculate the time since the last check in and highlight any row that has not checked in within this time interval. The Checkin Threshold can be changed on the screen. The default is one hour.
   scadaEnv	The name of the SCADA environment.
   hostName	The name of the computer processing the data.
   processID	The operating system process ID.
   processName	The name of the applicable data connector.
   status	A progress indicator. Y = indicates the process is currently working on a batch of data. N = indicates the process currently does not have any work to do. F = indicates a problem has occurred, and the user should log into the process and investigate. In general, For Request Connector processes, another process may have taken over the download. For the MonitorMeasBuffer process, a transformation error has occurred.
