Interface status digital point configuration

The following procedure describes how to create and configure interface status points. Create these status points on the receiving PI server.

First, create digital state sets for the status points. The following tables display the digital state set definitions:

• Digital states for the Internal Status point digital state set:

  Digital State	String
  0	STARTUP
  1	HISTORYRECOVERY
  2	SCANNING
  3	SHUTDOWN
  4	ACCESSDENIED
  5	SRCDISCONNECT Note: SRCDISCONNECT designates that digital state is disconnected from the source PI DA.
  6	RCVDISCONNECT Note: RCVDISCONNECT designates that digital state is disconnected from the destination PI DA.

• Digital states for the Failover Status point digital state set:

  Digital State	String	Description of use by the interface
  0	RECONNECTING	If the interface is not connected to the source server and is configured to have at least one source connect retry (command line parameter /NT=x where x is at least 1), this status will be written to the failover status point. The interface will then attempt to reconnect to the source server x times before it attempts failover to the other source server.
  1	PRIMARY	Written after a successful failover to the primary source server.
  2	FAILOVER	Written as one of the first things the interface does before initializing a failover.
  3	SECONDARY	Written after a successful failover to the secondary source server.

  Then, create a digital point on the receiving PI server with the following attributes:

  Attribute	Value
  PointSource	L
  PointType	Digital
  Compressing	0
  ExcDev	0
  DigitalStateSet	As defined in the receiving PI3 server digital state database. In this case, use either the name of the digital state set you created for Internal status or for Failover status - depending on which interface status point you are creating.
