Monitoring the status of an HMI server
In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Server Status dialog box, you can view the operational
status of an HMI server to determine whether the server is ready to provide service, and to
troubleshoot problems.
For example, an HMI server in the Active state is fully loaded and ready to provide
service to connected clients. A client can be any of FactoryTalk View Studio, a
FactoryTalk View SE Client, or the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console.
For more information about server states, see “Monitoring the status of application
servers” on page 14-2.
To open the Server Status dialog box
 In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the HMI server’s
icon, and then click Server Status.
For details about options in the Server Status dialog box, click Help.
Deleting HMI servers
You can delete an HMI server from an application without deleting the HMI project files,
and then add the HMI server to the application later.
You can also add the HMI server temporarily while you copy components to other HMI
servers in the application.
To delete an HMI server
1. Disconnect all clients from the HMI server. (A client is any of FactoryTalk View
Studio, FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console, or the FactoryTalk View
SE Client.)
2. Start FactoryTalk View Studio, and then open the application that contains the HMI
server you want to delete.
3. Right-click the HMI server, and then click Delete.
This does not delete the HMI server’s project files.
Deleting HMI server project files
After you delete an HMI server from an application, if you want to delete the project files,
you have to delete them separately.
