Database information for each data source in a schedule is saved as part of the file on disk. When a schedule executes 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 execution of the schedule.
Resolving schedules removes the need for iFIX to query the database. Therefore, resolved schedules execute faster in the run-time environment. We recommend resolving your schedules as a final step in the configuration process. The Resolve feature is available for both schedules and pictures.
If the process database is modified after you resolve a schedule, you need to run Resolve again. These modifications include:
- Loading a different database.
- Deleting database tags.
