It is possible to configure security on an AF element in a way that is not compatible with MDB. If you do this, then the corresponding module can be viewed and accessed in MDB only by piadmin. If you are not piadmin, then you cannot see the module. The cause could be:
-
You specified Deny access on an AF element for a Windows user. Data Archive does not support Deny access.
-
None of the Windows accounts that have access permissions on an AF element have mappings on the Data Archive server.
You can generate a security report to help pinpoint the problem:
-
In PI SMT, open the AF Link tool (Operation > AF Link).
-
Click the Details tab.
-
At the bottom of the details pane, click the Check for Security conflicts button. If there are problems with the security synchronization, a window appears listing them.
