Delete alarms

You can delete alarm points from the system as needed. Remember that deleted points are removed permanently. In many cases the Source Tag holds all the history for an instrument in the control system, or from the lab data entry system. Since deleting such points deletes ALL history associated with them, be sure to verify the value of tags before deletion.

1. Under Collectives and Servers, select the server or collective.

2. In the System Management Tools pane, select Alarms > SQC Alarms.

3. Select the alarm or alarms that you want to delete in the list view.

4. Click the Delete SQC Alarm button on the tool bar.

   You are prompted to delete the associated SQC alarm points.

5. Select corresponding check boxes to confirm the points you want to delete.

6. Click Delete to delete the SQC alarm point and specified associated points from the Data Archive server.

   Note: Some alarms may share associated points, and deleting these points cause problems for other alarms that reference them. Verify these connections before deleting associated points.
