The title says it all - navigating through FTView landmines can be challenging. I am using V10 SE Local Station and encountering difficulties creating a Tag Alarm and Event Server. When attempting to bind to the server in the Alarm and Event Setup, I receive an error: "Unable to access alarm configuration for server 'myname' due to a security access violation." The server status is displayed as localhost and appears to have failed. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Unfortunately, this issue has been resolved by powering down. Just like the Hulk, we were able to smash through the problem.
Encountered a similar problem with the same SE Version when updating the computer's name in Windows and using the FT Directory Configuration Wizard to adjust settings. A reboot was necessary to restore the alarms.
I am experiencing a recurring problem where the client file displays a pop-up dialogue box stating "unable to subscribe alarm and event server" on every window of the client view. Can someone assist me in resolving this issue?
To resolve the issue, please run a file as an Administrator by right-clicking on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Rockwell\SilentFTDCW.exe". A window will pop up, allowing the process to complete on its own. Once the progress bar reaches the end, the window will close. Restart your computer and verify the changes. This executable file resets and reconfigures the FactoryTalk Directory, essentially performing a fresh installation of the FT Services. It is important to note that this solution was successful on a Stand-Alone Client Station. For systems with a distributed architecture, further troubleshooting may be necessary in a development environment using FTView Studio to ensure correct display programming and the presence of an Alarm and Event server. If this method does not resolve your issue, you can also attempt to repair the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events as well as the FactoryTalk Services Platform by accessing the Control Panel and navigating to Installed Programs. Additional installation media or folder locations may be required for this process.
zan778 advised Kalai_h4 to run the file "SilentFTDCW.exe" as an Administrator by right-clicking on it in the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Rockwell\". A window will pop up to perform the necessary tasks. Once the progress bar is complete, the window will close. Reboot the computer and check if the issue is resolved. This executable file resets and rebuilds the FactoryTalk Directory configuration, similar to a fresh installation of the FT Services. It's important to note that this solution worked for a Stand-Alone Client Station. For a distributed architecture, additional debugging in a development environment using FTView Studio may be necessary to ensure the displays are programmed correctly and that the Alarm and Event server is properly declared and set up. If the above solution is not effective, it is recommended to navigate to the Control Panel, go to Installed Programs, and attempt to repair FactoryTalk Alarms and Events followed by the FactoryTalk Services Platform (this may require installation media or specifying a folder location). Thank you for the update, I am now able to access the alarm server successfully.
From what you've described, it sounds like the issue could be stemming from a lack of necessary permissions. Double-check that your user account has the appropriate rights assigned to access the Tag Alarm and Event Server. It's also worth making sure that the server 'myname' is correctly configured and operational. I remember encountering a somewhat similar problem once; it turned out to be a firewall blocking the connection. So don't overlook that possibility too.
It sounds like you might be dealing with an issue related to permission settings. Check if you have the required rights to perform this action on your computer. An incorrect user account setting could be causing the "security access violation". Alternatively, firewall settings can potentially interfere with your server communication. Perhaps, disabling your firewall temporarily can help isolate the issue. Additionally, 'localhost' is generally used in the context of networks, indicating that the requested server is on the local machine. If your server isn't set up locally, this could be the root of your problem too. Make sure to check the networking setup for FTView.
From the sounds of it, the issue seems to be rooted in security access. Given that you're using V10 SE Local Station, you might want to double-check your server's security settings. These settings can sometimes restrict access. Also, consider running the program as an administrator to bypass potential permission roadblocks. Sometimes, simple troubleshooting measures like a system restart or reinstalling FTView can help resolve these hiccups too. Hopefully, this can get you moving in the right direction.
