Which SNMP download file is required?

Issue On the extranet site, there are two .zip files (SNMP+V1.0+MIBs.zip and SNMP+v2C+MIBs.zip). What is the difference? Environment SNMP Alarming Cause Not sure which file to use.   Resolution On The Exchange Download Center, there are two .zip files (SNMP MIBs v1.0 and SNMP MIBs v2C). The choice between the above files will likely be dictated by the site IT Department, based on their Network Management System. The V1.0 and V2C is the version of the SNMP protocol and is independent of the Continuum controller model and version.  Here's some background information on the protocol versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol#SNMPv1_.26_SNMPv2c_interoperability

Starting many trend logs at the same time!

Issue Is it a problem in StruxureWare Building Operation to start many trend logs at the same time? Environment StruxureWare Building Operation version 1.3 Cause When starting several trend logs at the same time the Servers will try to read all the logged values at the same moment which is causing a big load on the system. Resolution Starting several trends at the same time should not have a big impact on the rest of the system, and our internal thread management shall ensure that no logs are missed. But it could cause a big load on the field bus and field devices so this is something to consider.

COV subscription information for b3s in StruxureWare Building Operation

Issue There's a need to understand how COV subscriptions are established and re-established when a controller goes offline and comes back online Environment StruxureWare Building Operation b3s Cause COV subscriptions get established with PE programming and with bindings Resolution The time to live for the subscription is 5 hours and gets checked every 5 minutes. If the b3 (client) goes offline eventually the subscriber server will stop the subscription after it sends out 4 messages every 3 seconds. If the acknowledge that the subscription isn’t received by the server device then it stops the subscription. The client subscriber is the one that determines the initiation of the subscription, so in this case once the b3 resets, either warm start or cool start and the program runs then the subscription would start again. A cold start would not start the subscription. If the target device goes offline, then it will be searched for with the ‘who-is’ service, and when it comes back online (the device replies with ‘I-am’), the COV subscription will be reestablished. A binding will also attempt to setup a COV subscription.  If the target device goes offline, then it will be searched for with the ‘who-is’ service, and when it comes back online (the device replies with ‘I-am’), the COV subscription will be reestablished.
