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).
-
In PI SMT, open the AF Link tool (Operation > AF Link).
-
Select and show the details pane for the Data Archive server you want to reset (use
to toggle the details pane).
-
Click the Details tab.
-
Click the Enable Tracing button at the bottom of the pane.
-
Specify the length of time (in seconds) you want the tracing to run and specify where you want the output to go.
