Configure Server Paths

You can configure the file server locations that the Process Analyst uses to load and save Process Analyst views, and displays the current Plant SCADA run path if the Process Analyst is embedded in a running Plant SCADA system. This command is disabled at run time if you do not have the appropriate privilege. For details about saving and loading views, see Work with Views and Process Analyst View Synchronization.

The Process Analyst uses four possible storage locations:

• User - maps to the client machine's logged-in user's My Documents folder. This option is available for any possible privilege and Plant SCADA mode.

• Primary - User-definable.

• Secondary - User-definable.

• Local - displays the current Plant SCADA run path (read-only). This text box only gets populated when the Process Analyst is running in Plant SCADA V6.0 or higher. This path is an Analyst Views subdirectory under the Plant SCADA current Run directory.

To configure server paths:

1. Click the Server Paths tab on the Main page.

   

2. Enter the location of the Primary file server.

3. Enter the location of the Standby file server (optional). This specifies the file server to use if the primary file server is unavailable.

4. Click Apply.
