Hi,

Can anyone tell me what files are responsible for encoding the URL's sent via the http sender?

If i create a sending string, from a data point, such as... 'abc&__value=xyz' and the sending parameter = __point

It should send http://host?__point=abc&__value=xyz but instead it converts everything in the data point string...

so the receiver see's http://host?__point=abc%26__value%3Dxyz.

Now a php server i've running can cope with this, but what i'd like to do it publish to a mango http receiver.

In this case, the http receiver doesn't decode the string, and takes it as it is and so fails.

Is the encoding down to the dojo uri.js file?

Or is the error in that the http receiver is not decoding the url and reading it literally?

Thanks

Neil

Hey Neil,

I don't know if you ever sorted out that issue. I would say that it is definitely an issue with the receiving party not decoding them properly. URL encoding is pretty standard actually.

Hi Phillip,

Thank you so much for taking out the time to help me with this. This information will definitely help me get started.
I will give it a shot to this set this up.

Thanks again!

Hi,

I use event process commands quite a lot, but i now have a need to pass the value of a mango variable to the batch file...

Can this be done?

Or would i need to trigger the batch file from a server side script?

Is that allowed? Any tips on how i could do that?

Thanks

Skiv

this browser has always been my choice for using mango, but in recent years, revisions have made mango less functional....

i.e. alarm banner at top used to flash, doesn't anymore...

now i'm seeing errors in the logs where google chrome clients connect...

does anyone have any thoughts?

no such errors with IE8 clients (but i hate this browser, too slow).

think i'm using 1.12.4

thanks

Hi skiv71

To solve this problem you have to edit the mailing_lists.shtm file and remove the document.onmousedown line in "function scheduleInit()":

function scheduleInit() { var tbody = $("scheduleRows"); var i, tr, td, hour, j, tbl2, tr2, td2, k, content, title, intId; for (i=0; i<24; i++) { tr = appendNewElement("tr", tbody); td = appendNewElement("td", tr); hour = ""+ i; hour = ("00"+ hour).substring(hour.length); td.innerHTML = hour +":00 - "+ hour +":59"; for (j=0; j<7; j++) { td = appendNewElement("td", tr); td.className = "ptr hreg"; td.style.paddingLeft = "3px"; td.onmouseover = function() { hourOver(this); }; td.onmouseout = function() { hourOut(this); }; td.onmousedown = function() { return hourDown(this) }; content = '<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"><tr>'; for (k=0; k<4; k++) { if (k == 0) title = hour +":00"; else if (k == 1) title = hour +":15"; else if (k == 2) title = hour +":30"; else title = hour +":45"; intId = getIntervalId(j, i, k); content += '<td id="ivl'+ intId +'" style="padding-right:2px;" title="'+ title +'"'; content += ' class="qreg qon" onmouseover="quarterOver(this)" onmouseout="quarterOut(this)"'; content += ' onmousedown="quarterDown(this); return false;">&nbsp;</td>'; } content += '</tr></table>'; td.innerHTML = content; } } document.onmousedown = function() { return false; }; // DELETE THIS LINE TO ENABLE THE ONMOUSEDOWN FUNCTIONALITY document.onmouseup = function() { mouseDown = false; return false; }; document.onselectstart = function() { return false; }; }

Regards! :D

Hey Matthew,

Long time... how's things?

That's a real shame, the beauty of the individual accounts and web access is the independant nature of things...

Just wasn't right, logging on whilst i knew there was an active alarm present but the event logger says no, because another operator ack it.

Not a problem in a single instance, viewing platform, even if it is VNC'd, but clearly is in a multi login web environment :-/

hi, not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes...

i have some meta points which SUM a real data point (modbus) with a virtual data point (used to provide an offset for calibration purposes).

Because i needed precise update timing (for my data logging), i used to CRON to produce the result.

What i would rather have done is have the meta point update on context and use the polling interval of the real data source as the trigger (i have quantize) selected.

thing is the internal data point will also cause an update and this is undesireable.

it would be nice if i could enter 0 update period or disable it in some other means.

i thought of entering a very long update period, but thats no good.

really need to disable periodic update.

any thoughts?

thanks

skiv

i've decided to make 2 data sources...

a/. source with 1 sec polling for realtime data

b/. source with 15min polling and quantize checked

source b is set for logging on time stamp so achieves the desired result.

however, i'm also publishing this data (potentially both sources) with another scada instance retrieving the data.

currently the publising data source is set for updates by changes.

since the source is quantize, it would be nice if i could select 'timestamp' change for the update.

presently i only see option to select 'all changes' which see's the client scada have per second updates, or 'changes only' which fails since the data value might not have changed.

i'm using 1.12.0, has the publishing facility been changed to send updates based on timestamp?

thanks

skiv

i cannot use event triggers based on time because i need them to be dynamic... but an alternative would to have access the elapsed time of a trigger to i could see where its got to... can i do that?

hi joohwan,

sorry i'll try and break it down

mango (since 1.8.1 i think)

modbus I/O, RTU via a TCP gateway.

all i know is it appears mango's polling mechanism is not geared towards multiple sources, i.e. there is no staggering of devices... and i've seen on site where this has risen to unrecoverable comms downtime. resetting the data source or restarting the instance is required.

2 other modbus masters I have at my disposal, seem to polling 'one at a time' and this works much better

Can you use some kind of O/S-level semaphore? lockfile() maybe?

A process timeout in seconds has been added to both the active and inactive fields. This has however been implemented in M2M2 only.

Hi Mathew,

I've developed a sms alarm service with some scripting (OS side) and the recipient number is dervied from a text file within the host, and i was hoping to to make this adjustable from within the scada.

its ok.... the issue was me... mango was not allowing duplicate tags, so deleted old data sources, and re imported into the new single data source... woo!

Yeah, that was one of the several reasons it was created.

Any issues around this should be fixed in 1.12.0. Please let me know if you see otherwise.

No, but M2M2 will have this ability with the "wlxid" and "wlid" parameters.

i think it would be nice to have groups within a data source. my list is massive, an copying groups would be good

Hi,

I am no guru at this topic, I woud recommend some books:

OReilly: Dojo The Definitive Giude
OReilly: Ajax The Definitive Giude

or some online docs/APIs...

Arne

is it possible to customise what buttons are available from the toolbar... i see they already lose some like system, publishers etc... i'd like to remove others... do i need to edit a file?

thanks
