Diagnostic Improvements

A Diagnostic Capture Tool has been added to the ProcessLogix Server
to help capture information required to diagnose problems on the
Server. This tool can also be used to view the Server’s log file and
Communication traces.

To assist with the diagnosis of problems that might be occurring on
the server, the past ten server log files are now archived.

The number of messages that a server process places in the server’s
log file can now be changed without having to restart the process that
generates them.

Updated Alarming Support

Priorities for system alarms can now be customized (e.g. Operator,
Printer, Station, Redundancy, etc.).

The colors for the various alarm priorities as well as the status zone
indicators can now be customized.

Alarms that have not been acknowledged within a specified period
can have their priority elevated.

A new alarm can be raised to indicate that an alarm has not been
acknowledged within a specified period. The alarm can be raised in
another area to the area the alarm was raised in.

Windows 2000 Support

The ProcessLogix Server now supports Windows 2000 Server.
Windows NT and Windows Professional are not supported on the
server.
