Runtime Manager represents each individual process on the local computer as a row in a table. Each row (process) includes the following columns:
|
Column |
Description |
|---|---|
|
CPU |
The CPU number(s) on which the process is running, or 'All' to indicate the process is running on all CPUs. |
|
ProcessID |
The Windows ProcessID. |
|
Process |
Lists each Plant SCADA component running in the process. Where Plant SCADA is running in single process mode and all components are sharing a process, they appear comma-separated on a single line in this column. |
|
Type |
The type of process (Alarm, Report, Trend, I/O Server or Client). Where Plant SCADA is running in single process mode and all components are sharing a process, the type is known as 'MIXED'. |
|
Status |
The status of each process. See Monitor Runtime Processes for a list of each status reported by Plant SCADA Runtime Manager. |
|
Message |
Displays message information relevant to the status of each process, such as the date and time of project compilation, as well as project name. For example, during startup of each process the verbose startup message appears in this column. |
The Plant SCADA Runtime Manager interface also includes the following buttons:
-
Restart All - Restarts all the processes on the workstation, including any that are not currently running.
-
Start All - If no processes are currently running, this button starts all the processes on this workstation (see Start a Process).
As soon as a process is running, this button changes to Shutdown All which stops all processes and shuts down Runtime Manager (see Shut Down Runtime Manager).
While a process is starting, this button will display Cancel. This allows you to stop any processes that are currently starting (see Cancel a Process).
-
Hide - minimizes Runtime Manager (see Hide Runtime Manager).
