If you are having severe problems with MDB and AF synchronization, a Technical Support engineer might request that you turn on tracing in the AF Link tool.

Tracing runs for a set (configurable) period of time and you can specify where to send the output, either to the PI Message log or to a separate file in the PI\Log directory (same directory as the PI message log).

  1. In PI SMT, open the AF Link tool (Operation > AF Link).

  2. Select and show the details pane for the Data Archive server you want to reset (use to toggle the details pane).

  3. Click the Details tab.

  4. Click the Enable Tracing button at the bottom of the pane.

  5. Specify the length of time (in seconds) you want the tracing to run and specify where you want the output to go.
