PhaseDataList

The
PhaseDataList
 item lists information about all of the phases in the system. The
PhaseDataList
 item exposes a large amount of data for each phase. This can cause a significant processing load on the data server,
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server, and client. The
PhaseIDPhaseData
 item can be used in place of the
PhaseDataList
 item, only returning data for a specific phase.
Disable the
PhaseDataList
 item and the
PhaseErrs
 item by adding this entry in the [CLIENT MGR DDE] section of the
batchsvr.ini
 file.
[CLIENT MGR DDE]
DisablePhaseDataList=YES
If the items are disabled, the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server does not return any data if issued a request for either of these items. If the
DisablePhaseDataList
 item is set to YES, the
Alarm Summary
 and
Phase/Operation Summary
 windows in
FactoryTalk Batch View
 will not display any data.
This table shows the input and output formats for this item.
