Destination Setup

How do I open Destination Setup?

Use

Destination Setup

to view and configure settings for each

FactoryTalk Diagnostics

logging destination installed on the computer.

Any number of

FactoryTalk

products and services may be routing messages to the same logging destinations on the computer. The settings configured affect all messages routed to the same logging destinations.

For example, suppose

FactoryTalk View SE

and

FactoryTalk Linx

are both sending messages to one local log and to one ODBC log on the same computer. When configuring options for the local log, the settings affect messages routed by both

FactoryTalk View SE

and

FactoryTalk Linx

.

Computers can be configured for specialized logging scenarios using message routing. For example, to focus on quick responses to operational problems, a plant manager might configure the local log on his computer to log only "Error" and "Warning" messages and ignore "Information" and "Audit" messages. However, on another computer that is used for programming, a software engineer might want to configure the local log to log only messages categorized as "Developer" messages.

In the

Destination Setup

tree view, select either

Local Log Destination Setup

or

ODBC Database Destination Setup

and configure these logging destinations then use

Message Routing

to select the types of messages logged.
