System log related issues

If you are using IE 7.0 and want to export to Excel, you must install Windows hotfix 929863. This fix addresses an Excel file export issue on the

System Log

page. You need to add the

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.csv] "PerceivedType"="document"

registry value for the .csv document type.

If you use the

Auto Refresh

feature, new messages will appear in the

System Log

table each time data is refreshed. When multiple clients perform the refresh action, the

System Log

table will grow quickly.

When the FactoryTalk Historian ME systems are up and running, and the connection to the data source is lost, a message similar to the following will be logged:

0 DataCollection 28-Dec-09 19:00:47 [ERROR] HandleNotification() detected erroneous return condition from notify_on_event API

.

This message is logged every 300 errors to help prevent the log disk space from being filled with too many error messages.
