Status of PC-Host Session
Minimum State is useful for:
•
Selectively limiting the display to exception data only
•
Reducing the total number of objects displayed in the Browse window
To remind you that not all objects can be displayed, the Browse window status bar (at
the bottom of the Browse window) displays the number of objects shown and found as
a pair of numbers. For example, => 3/16 displayed in the status bar indicates the
number of objects shown with state equal to or greater than the minimum state is 3 out
of 16 total objects found. This reminds you that more objects might be found than
actually displayed when Minimum State filtering is enabled.
ASAP determines the state of objects based on control settings in the Attribute Tab of
the ASAP Properties window. An attribute has a state assigned to it if its Show in
Graph property is enabled. To control how ASAP determines the state, select the State
Determination algorithm.
Status of PC-Host Session
-----
The Browse window has a PC-Host Session Status display that consists of PC and
Host icons connected by a communications link.
The PC icon is a shortcut to the ASAP Properties window. To open the ASAP
Properties window so you can change ASAP properties, click the PC icon.
The Host icon is a shortcut to the ASAP Session window. To open the Session
window so you can check the status of the Host Session and view the Session log,
click the Host icon.
Health Indicators
The PC-Host Status window provides an overall indication of the health of the Client-
Server session. The PC-Host Status window can contain these visual health indicators:
The Host Icon Green with slow blink indicates that the Host Session is up and no
errors were encountered on the last host I/O. To view the Session window and a
summary of session status messages, click the Green icon.
The Host Icon Gray with slow blink indicates that the Host Session has been
manually disabled. To display the Session window and a summary of session status
messages, click the Gray icon.
The Host Icon Red X with fast blink indicates that the ASAP Host Session was
activated but communication to the host server via the Client-Server Gateway is down.
To view the Session error log, click the Red X icon. After reading the session log, stop
Note. You can also display the Minimum State menu by selecting States... from the View menu
in the Browse window. Also, you can use the Minimum State drop-down as a “tear-off” menu so
you can keep it visible and place it where you want on the screen.
