Tran

Enables logging for tran activity messages in the syslog.dat file. Tran refers to a connection between one Plant SCADA server/client component and another. A client tran initiates a connection, a server tran waits for a connection. Client and server in this context bears no relation to the type of component that owns the tran.

This command operates as a toggle. Using it the first time will turn logging on, using it again will turn it off.

You can use Page Table Tran to view the details for existing trans, including the name and handle.
