Database information for each data source in a picture is saved as part of the picture file on disk. When a picture is displayed in the run-time environment, and the database information is not up-to-date, iFIX queries the database and resolves the tag definitions. This can be a time-consuming process which slows the opening of the picture.
Resolving pictures removes the need for iFIX to query the database. Therefore, resolved pictures open faster in the run-time environment. The Resolve feature is available for both pictures and schedules, and can be accessed using the Utilities toolbar or the Picture category of the Task Wizard (Classic view), or on the Applications tab, in the Utilities group, in the Utilities list (Ribbon view).
When you resolve a picture that requires autoscaling, the iFIX Resolve Task Wizard now opens the picture while resolving.
NOTE: If you delete tags from the process database after you resolve a picture, you need to run Resolve again.
