config.redu

Post by martin.jelemensky »

During the development of the API manager in WinCC OA 3.14 for the redundant system, we need to write the state of the api manager into the individual datapoints. In other words, we need to configure the config.redu such that even the api manager which runs on the passive system could write his state into the datapoint.For example the left system writes into the datapoint "dp", while the right system even if he is passive will write into the datapoint "dp_2". How can we modify/configure the config.redu so this would be possible. We have already tried several modifications on config.redu however none of them worked. This is the latest version of config.redu that was even possible to compile :

[test]
# [left system] : _TestRedu [right system] : _TestRedu_2
($host1) ReduOur = "_TestRedu"
($host2) ReduOur = "_TestRedu_2"

[event]
fwdDpType = "_TestReduMain"

Have you restarted the project after adding config entries fr the Event Manager?
The config file is only read during startup. If changes are made for a specific manager it needs to be restarted to use the new settings.

Add a point after '_TestReduMain' and try it again.

Thank you, the "point" worked perfectly.
