Resolving Schedules
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 the first time the schedule loads, which can slow 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.
To resolve a schedule:
- Click the Resolve Files button on the Utilities Toolbar.
- In the File Types area, select the Schedule check box.
- In the Directories area, verify that your schedule directory is correct. If it is not, enter the correct path in the Schedules field.
- In the Resolve Files area, select the schedule file you want to resolve. To select every file in the list, click Select All.
- Click the Update Schedule Files button and click OK.
