Alarm escalation in Continuum

Issue How to do alarm escalation in Continuum? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment PEAlmFunction, PERtnFunction Cyberstation Alarm Workstation PE function Cause The customer requires the ability to time how long an alarm is active, and based on its status (acknowledged-unacknowledged), escalate the active alarm, by email or other means. Should the alarm be acknowledged in time, the escalation does not occur. Resolution One method is to use the PEAlmFunction and PERtnFunction in a Workstation Program to capture the various alarm conditions off the alarm stack to trigger the activity that you want. As an example, the PEAlmFunction could be used to initiate a timer for the alarm by recording the time of the alarm and the alarm point. The PERtnFunction is then used to clear this recorded information if the alarm is acknowledged. A Workstation program is then used to constantly monitor this alarm information and comparing the recorded alarm time to the current time, if this is above the escalation time then a numeric is set to trigger another alarm that is then escalated. For details on how to configure the PEAlmFunction and PERtnFunction, consult Can Plain English interact with the Continuum Alarm Engine?

Getting "Installation Error!" with "permission was denied on the object" or "you do not have permission" from database initialization

Issue Database initialization completes with errors Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Cyberstation installation Cause When running database initialization you will need full access to all of the database. Otherwise you may see errors similar to the following: Installation Error! <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'syscategories', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.> Installation Error! <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot drop the procedure 'dt_IsColumnDifferent', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.>   Resolution Ensure that the Andover97 account has DBO privilege to the ContinuumDB, if not run the "Change DB Owner" query to restore Andover97 as the DBO, see Unable to Initialize Continuum Database following installing no SQL instance.   The above errors relate to setting up the SQL Server Agent Jobs that are held in the MSDB part of the database. Check that Andover97 does have the user mapping to this part of the database as per the following screenshot:     Also ensure your Windows User account has the required Administrator privileges to allow full access to the SQL database and its files.

MFC errors when starting or running Cyberstation or Webclient

Issue MFC errors when starting or running Cyberstation or Webclient Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Windows 10 Windows Server 2012 Cause Microsoft Function Class (MFC) errors are typically caused by missing, damaged or altered files that an application is looking for and is having problems using. Resolution There can be a number of reason why MFC errors are being received. Here are a few causes related to Cyberstation startup. Check the Continuum compatibility matrix. If you are using a version of Windows Operating System that has not been qualified for a specific version (i.e. Windows XP SP2 with 1.93) then this can cause MFC errors. Viruses and Malware can also affect MFC files. Be sure to run both types of scans on Cyberstation, but this should be done after the Cyberstation or Webclient PC has been installed. If these types of products are active during an install, they can flag some of the files that would normally get installed as suspect and cause problems with the operation of Cyberstation even if it appeared that the installation was successful. Removing Continuum, rebooting, running scans and then disabling the active scans at the time of the Cyberstation install will often resolve these issues. Windows XP, Vista and Windows7 have restore points that you can sometimes go back to in order to restore to a point earlier where the MFC errors were not happening. As a last resort, you may need to reformat the hard drive on the PC, reinstall the Windows Operating System including the appropriate service packs and hotfixes and then install Cyberstation or Webclient. Links to other MFC related articles: MFC errors on Continuum startup after moving a database to another PC MFC error on Continuum startup or Continuum won't start on HP PC Running a listview is giving a MFC error

Configuration for extended logs in Continuum

Issue How to set up extended logging. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Cyberstation Extended Log Cause Configuration of extended logging. Resolution Sample configuration for extended logging. This example would create enough entries for a 24 hour period. Create an Infinity Numeric Select the logs tab Number of entries (96) Type will be LogInstantaneous (Stores the current value of this point at the beginning of every interval) Interval will be 15 minutes (15 minutes in a 24 hour period is 96 which is what we set for the Number of entries) By default the Workstations are setup for 5 minute checks to the controllers to see if there are extended logs to enter into the database. For more in-depth configuration of extended logging, please review Extended Logs in the Continuum Online help system.  For performance and load balancing please see Extended Logging gaps, performance and load balancing.

Downgrade SQL 2008 to SQL 2005, What version is used?

Issue Downgrade SQL 2008 to SQL 2005 Restore from SQL 2008 to prior version. Product Line Andover Continuum, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment SQL 2008 used by Building Management Software Cause Have database loaded on one machine using SQL 2008 and would like to move or change to SQL 2005 Resolution Golden Rule: A SQL 2008 database cannot be downgraded or restored to a SQL 2005 version. It is not possible to downgrade a database or a database backup. The SQL schema will not allow it.  For your current version of SQL: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server \80, \90, \100 Folders are the client tools. 80 = SQL Server 2000 90 = SQL Server 2005 100 = SQL Server 2008 How ever, it is not a rule. Since 2008 creates both 80, 90. The only way to find what versions are installed (besides regedit) is by the Sql Server Configuration manager.    For other SQL options related to I/NET, please visit SQL and version compatibility for Filemaster, Equalized Client, Remote Client, Limitations of SQL.

No Webclient browser PC stand alone installation and what components get installed normally

Issue IT departments want to install just the client software without attaching to the webclient server and want to know if there is a way to accomplish this. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment webClient Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Cause Webclient deploys activex controls using several .cab file from the C:\program files\redist folder on the webclient server. These files must be delivered to the browser PCs with admin privileges on the client PC in order for webclient and webpinpoint to work. Here is a list of the .cab files and ActiveX controls that get installed AccWebUtils.cab - AccDotNetBootstrap Control, Crypto Class (Used for  regular webclient use) WebclientPinpointSetup.cab - PPBrowserMgr Control (WebPinpoint) WebclientVideo.cab - TACVideoControl.VideoControl (Viewing Video layouts) ** The other piece that doesn't get installed are the permissions for the caspol commands that must be set for zones in order to run schedules. See webClient schedules getting error 'request for permission of type' system.security.permissions or .net control error on Webclient reports related to webclient schedules and running the caspol commands 1.94 SP1 requires that Microsoft VC++ 2005 Redistributable SP1 x86 to be installed for webpinpoint, it prompts to install when accessing a graphic the first time Resolution There is no client side webClient PC installation. The method for delivering the necessary activex controls and files are triggered by the browser PCs access to the webclient server PC and then the files are delivered to the client.  Some IT departments use Microsoft  SMS or Active directory to deploy software in a locked down environment. To deploy webclient to these types of browser PCs, they would have to logon with Admin privileges to perform the one time install of these files. The only other method if the IT group has InstallShield or WISE package creation software would be to capture the browser PC installation and use the produced .msi file for client delivery. This is informational only and has not been tested by Schneider Electric.

XDriver on the Generation1 Controllers

Issue Enabling XDriver on the first generation of controllers, 9200, 9400, 9940, 9900 including the enabling of TCP/IP Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Older Continuum sites Cause Connectivity to third Party devices using the old NCI or First Generation Controllers requires an updated file. Resolution For 1st generation controllers, a .upd file is needed to turn on the bit for the Comm port. There is 1 bit per port to enable X Driver then a second bit to enable IP X Driver support required for the Modbus TCP/IP driver. The same principle applies to the generation1, 9200, 9400 controllers.   These controllers have flash memory just for things like the Serial number, model num, & X Driver settings, even though the controllers have EEPROM's for the firmware   As far as loading these drivers using hyperterminal, apart from firmware, one can load the X Driver file/ code through hyperterminal if required, but easier to do through Cyber'.   These files which enable the Xdriver for the Comm port, and TCP/IP are available by filling out the Driver Request Form, then they will be emailed directly to the customer from the factory in U.S.   X Driver list (Search for 'Third Party Driver List') and Order Forms (Search for 'xdriver order form') are located on the Exchange Download site  Difference between first and second generation controllers, visit What is the difference between 1st and 2nd Generation X Drivers. For information on Physical Ports, visit What controller ports and physical standards are supported by the Modbus X Drivers?  For Second Generation Controllers, visit How to order a controller with or upgrade a controller to have XDriver support.

Live Video or video preview is displaying as black using the Endura Continuum integration

Issue Cameras have learned in successfully but live video shows as black or the Video Administrator shows the preview as black. Product Line Andover Continuum, Pelco Environment Continuum Endura Windows XP Windows Vista Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Cause Live video is showing black because of a configuration issue. Resolution There can be a number of reasons why live video is showing as black in Continuum. Here are some steps to correct or troubleshoot this: Time between devices is not synced. Verify that the controller(InfinintySystemVariable Date), Cyberstation(DateTime Date), and the Endura system(SM) time are all synced. Video Driver or Card. To allow for Sarix cameras in 1.92 changes were made that could cause a standard VGA driver to not display video. Update the standard driver or change the video card. (Test with a different PC which uses a different card) Multicast traffic. Check that the switches on the LAN are broadcasting traffic using multicast. Run the Sherlock utility which is a free codec utility to determine the codec on the Cyberstation and send the results to Product Support. It can be found at the following web site: http://www.free-codecs.com/Sherlock_The_Codec_Detective_download.htm Ensure that the cameras were renamed from the default name in Endura (defaults to camera, but it's actually a null). Ensure that each camera has its own unique non-zero input/channel number. Both of these two items can cause the Continuum camera learn to not be successful and cause issue when trying to access video. Video.log files. Configure the video.log files per How to create a log file for troubleshooting video integration issues in Continuum. Send these files to Product Support for analysis.

Controllers are online but unable to modify existing objects or create new ones

Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Issue 1. Cyberstation PC Windows Application Event Logs showing SQL errors about being unable to allocate space for each of the event tables. Similar to the below errors. Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.AlarmEvent'.'PK_AlarmEvent' in database 'ContinuumDB' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.ExtendedLogReservation'.'IDX_EXTENDEDLOGRESERVATION' in database 'ContinuumDB' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. 2. Controllers are online but unable to modify existing objects or create new ones. In addition; all events were not being logged to the database. This was seen by reviewing the AlarmEvent, ActivityEvent, AccessEvent, AlarmEvent, and ExtendedLog tables not having any new events being recorded at all. reviewing the distribution properties after performing tasks in Continuum showed no entries at all. Normally, user events initiated from the Workstation are shown in the distribution properties window as they occur. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Cyberstation SQL Server Cause 1. One of the Database files is set to not grow with Autogrowth set to none. This stops any new data from being able to be entered into the database. One example of this is when the ContinuumDev file was modified by the end-user to inhibit its growth by changing this setting to none. Check all of the following databases files (both the DEV and LOG file) to ensure that they are all set to either autogrowth or to an adequate restricted value so that they are able to write new entries. ContinuumDB MSDB TempDB   2. The disk where the database resides does not have enough available disk space. Resolution 1. Change this database file growth setting to "by 10MB, unrestricted growth" or to an adequate restricted value. Use SQL Server Management Studio Express, see Move / Backup / Restore a database on a Single User SQL2005 Express system on where to get this if it is not already installed on your SQL Server. It is highly recommended to backup the ContinuumDB before attempting any changes to the database, steps on how to do this are in the above article. Start up SQL Server Management Studio, or in my example, Management Studio Express. Log in with your SQL SA password or windows administrator. Expand the server tree, expand the Databases tree. Right-click on ContinuumDB and select "Properties" from the menu; this will show the Database Properties window. Select the Files tab on the RH side of this window and you are now where you need to be to check the Autogrowth setting.   2. If the problem is due to disk out of space your options are; a) Make room on the disk, b) Shrink the ContinuumDB,  c) Install a larger disk in the machine.

Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum CyberStation ContinuumDB SQL Cause Site wants to upgrade from Continuum Single User system to a Continuum LAN System. Resolution PRELIMINARY WORK Order Continuum Key Upgrades from all Continuum CyberStation workstations and WebClient Servers. Coordinate with customers IT department Order all TCP/IP node addresses Coordinate the purchase and installation of all software Order all necessary domain accounts Make sure all domain accounts have sufficient permissions to support the installed systems. PREPARE THE NEW CONTINUUM DATABASE ON SQL SERVER Set up your server and install SQL Server 2005 or 2008. SQL must be configured with the proper collation sequence.  (See CyberStation SQL collation) SQL must allow Name Pipes (See After installing Continuum 1.93 LAN, failure to initialize a new database) Install CyberStation on a service Laptop or PC . Disable all virus protection software Disable all spyware software Disable all firewall software. Install Continuum CyberStation Run Database Initialization on service laptop Create new Continuum database..  NOTE: The new database should be given a name that differs from the existing database. Create the service Laptop workstation with a unique Device ID and Network ID. Launch Continuum Logon and verify that Continuum appears to be running normally. MOVE FILES FROM EXISTING SU WORKSTATION TO THE SQL 2008 SERVER Backup PinFiles on original stand alone Cyberstation and move them to New Graphics Files folder on the new database server. Backup Background image files on original stand alone Cyberstation and move them to the background image files folder under New Graphics Files on the new database server. Backup the existing database and move it to the backup folder under SQL on the new Database server. Restore backup to Continuum database in SQL on the new database server.. Shut down all the Cyberstation workstations that are attached to the old database. Change DB Owner Run query on new Continuum database Enter the text SP_ChangeDBOwner Andover97 Execute this query.   Query should return Success. Run Database initialization on the service CyberStation and update the new SQL 2008 Continuum database. Launch CyberStation on the service laptop and verify that the system is fully functional.

Default Device ID / Device Instance of SE7000 series BACnet controllers

Issue Without knowing the Device ID / Device Instance these devices cannot add to the MSTP network in the AS or ES. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices Environment Automation Server Enterprise Server BACnet SE7000 Cause Only the MAC ID / Com Address is shown in the display but not the Device ID / Device Instance. Resolution SE7200x Models Default Device ID is set to: 72000 + MAC Where MAC is the current MAC address of the device. The device ID will also be upgraded as soon as there is a change to the device’s MAC. For example, when a SE7200F5045B controller with a MAC address of 41 is connected to a network, its default Device Name will be SE7200F5x45B-41 and its default Device ID will be 72041. SE73xxx Models Default Device ID is set to: 73000 + MAC Where MAC is the current MAC address of the device. The device ID will also be upgraded as soon as there is a change to the device’s MAC. For example, when a SE7300C5045B controller with a MAC address of 63 is connected to a network, its default Device Name will be SE7300C5x45B-63 and its default Device ID will be 73063.

Issue You get an error, "Unable to load the .Net control for this page." when trying to open a schedule in WebClient. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment webClient Cause The problem is that the .Net zone permissions are not set on the browser machines. Resolution Depending on the revision of the WebClient the procedure for correcting this on the browsing machines is different. If you are running WebClient version 1.73 or below then refer to the WebClient installation guide on setting the .Net zone permissions. If you are running WebClient version 1.74 or higher, which uses .Net 2.0, the procedure is different. Below is the procedure that will need to be performed on the browser machines at the command prompt to set the .Net Zone Permissions for .Net 2.0. The following command will add FullTrust to the Internet_Zone in DotNet 2.0: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -m -addgroup Internet_Zone -zone InterNet FullTrust -name FullTrust The following command will add FullTrust to the Trusted_Zone in DotNet 2.0 C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -m -addgroup Trusted_Zone -zone Trusted FullTrust -name FullTrust This will result in output like: The operation you are performing will alter security policy. Are you sure you want to perform this operation? (yes/no) Then select Y and you should see: Added union code group with "-zone" membership condition to the Machine level. Success You should then be able to open the .Net 2.0 editors on your web.client browser machine. In some cases adding the webclient IIS PC to the trusted sites in the browser is needed Internet Explorer> Internet Options> Security> Click Trusted Sites> Click Sites Type in http://your server name/webclient and click Add (i.e your server name is specific to your install) Deselect the checkbox for 'Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone Click Ok, Ok Close explorer and access webclient schedules Note: Every browser PC that will be accessing schedules needs to have the caspol commands run on it. Download a batch file that can be run on each PC (Rename the .txt file to .bat and run at a DOS prompt  C:\> caspolwebclient.bat)   Note: When using 1.94 SP1 check the application pools .net version selected Name .Net Version ASP NET v4.0 4.0 ASP NET v4.0 Classic 4.0 Classic .NET AppPool 2.0 Default AppPool  2.0 WebClient  4.0 Note: If .net framework 4.5.x has recently been installed on browser PCs, see Webclient Cannot open .net editor with .NET Framework - 'There was an error trying to create the .NET control for this page'.

Trouble running programs on CyberStation

Issue Every so often one or two programs on the Continuum workstation stop working. Editing the program results in: A Cached Program cannot be opened while it is being written. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CyberStation WebClient Continuum Programs Cause CyberStation was not installed properly. Too many demands are being placed on the workstation. Resolution If the problem results from a problem with the installation of Continuum Cyberstation, refer to Problems installing Continuum. Once Continuum has been properly installed, the problem may result from placing to many demands on the Continuum workstation.  Some questions that should be asked are... How many programs are being run on the Cyberstation concurrently. The default setting for Run on any workstation when a workstation program in created is false. This property should be checked for all workstation programs whether they must be run from another workstation or not. This setting can be found in the Program properties editor. An a cached program cannot be opened while it is being written error may occurring when a report program is writing to disk. Verify that the Cyberstation PC conforms to the Continuum Compatibility Matrix for the Continuum version. How many PE programs are running on this workstation, how complex are these programs and are high level commands such as: Rotate, Run, Shell, OpenFile, OpenList, GetName, GetObject being used frequently. How many report programs are running concurrently.  Is the report workstation 100% dedicated to running reports and nothing else; no alarm reporting, no schedules, no extended log downloading, no Access server functions? Is the workstation hardware and operating system sufficient for the work CyberStation is expected to do. Managing these demands may involve sharing the reporting load over several CyberStations and/or adjusting the timing of processor intensive programs so that the workstation is executing fewer tasks at any given time.  In some cases program performance may be impaired due to insufficient memory allocation. See Getting a Smart Heap error when starting Cyberstation or not all processes start and Cyber doesn't open.

Invalid user name or password dialog when logging into webclient with acc that works in Continuum

Issue Invalid user name or password dialog when logging into webclient with acc that works in Continuum Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Webclient Windows XP Windows 7 Windows 2003 Windows 2008 Cause Activex control didn't download or an update to .Net requires a re-register of .Net to IIS Resolution This happens when attempting to login to webclient when there are higher security restrictions on Internet Explorer so files that need to get installed on the client machine get blocked. A. Add the webclient server as a Trusted site in Internet Explorer on each client machine as follows: Open Internet Explorer and select> Tools> Internet Options> Security> Click on Trusted Sites and Click the Sites button Deselect "Require server verification (https) for all sites in this zone Add the webclient server name Ex. http://Servername (This typically populates automatically.) B. Also, change the default security settings to medium-low as follows: Open Internet Explorer and select> Tools> Internet Options> Security>Click on Trusted Sites and Click the Custom level button In the "Reset to" drop down, select Medium-Low and then Click The Reset button Click Yes to the "Are you sure you want to change the settings for this zone?" In the Settings list, manually enable "Download unsigned ActiveX controls Click OK, Click Yes to "Are you sure you want to change the settings for this zone?" Click Ok and Ok again C. Run the aspnet_regiis.exe -i command from DOS to re-register .Net with IIS From DOS> CD\ Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis.exe –i Once these steps are completed, enter the URL for webclient again, the appropriate activeX controls will install and the login will work normally. If this still doesn't work and you get a message that "Internet Explorer is currently running without add-ons" then take a look at the following Microsoft articles.   https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/53a3b82c-e61a-4576-8d80-91e204d4b1e9/internet-explorer-is-currently-running-with-addons-disabled?forum=itprovistaie Also see Internet Explorer gets "web.Client only supports Internet Explorer 32 Bit version 8.0 and greater" when logon to the Webclient server. This article is similar, but mentions changing the compatibility view in Internet Explorer.
