Overview of the SCADA Node Synchronization History

The Overall Partner Status screen in the SCADA Sync Monitor allows you to view whether the primary and secondary SCADA Server pair are communicating and view event log messages pertaining to Enhanced Failover.

The following table describes the fields that appear in this screen.

Field or Area

Description

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Area

Provides the IP address and hardware descriptions of Primary, Secondary, Tertiary networks for Enhanced Failover. These networks are defined in the Data Sync Transport Options dialog box in the SCU (accessed from the SCADA Configuration dialog box).

When communication is good, the enabled adapter appears green. If communication is bad, the enabled adapter is red. If communication is not configured, no additional color appears. If the network card failed to initialize (for instance, if the network cable is not plugged in), no additional color appears.

If you need to review messages older than the last 64, you can review the scadasync.log file, in your iFIX LOCAL directory. If you installed iFIX to the default location, this directory location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX\LOCAL.

Last Sync Time
