By default, alarm acknowledgements and simulation registers are synchronized when exiting Maintenance Mode; however, you can disable synchronization if you wish.
NOTE: These parameters are effective only on the primary SCADA node. They are ignored on the secondary SCADA node since the secondary does not enter Maintenance Mode.
To disable alarm acknowledgment synchronization:
- Add the following line to the [SyncManager] section of the ScadaSync.Ini file on the primary SCADA node:
MMSyncAlarmAcks=0
To disable simulation register synchronization:
- Add the following line to the [SyncManager] section of the ScadaSync.Ini file on the primary SCADA node:
MMSyncSimRegs=0
For the changes to take effect, you must restart iFIX after making either change.
Simulation Register Synchronization Timeout Parameter
You can add or change the following parameter in the [SyncManager] section in the ScadaSync.ini file on the primary SCADA node. This parameter disables or sets the number of seconds to wait for the simulation register synchronization to complete. For the change to take effect, you must restart iFIX after making the change.
NOTE: Absence of this parameter, or setting the parameter to a non-zero value enables the timeout.

|
MMSyncTimeout=n |
Disables or sets the wait period for the simulation register synchronization to complete. |
0 disables the timeout 1 to 300 indicates the number of seconds to wait |
60 seconds |
When the timeout is enabled, the primary SCADA node waits the specified amount of time for simulation register synchronization to complete before it exits Maintenance Mode. When the timeout is disabled, the primary SCADA node does not exit Maintenance Mode until simulation register synchronization completes. Simulation register synchronization may fail due to loss of the SCADA synchronization network
