No alert-details shown on Remote UI with standard OA-panel.

Post by michel.eijgermans »

My project (WinCCOA 3.15 p10) is not showing alert-details on a Remote UI (Server-Client setup) in the standard 'Alert-Details popup'.

When i'm opening the same popup on the Server (locally where the event and data managers are running) the alert-details popup IS showing the alert-information!

- On the server i'm running the WinCC-OA proxy.
- As far as I can see all other functionality is working normally.

Could this problem be caused by some network issue or closed ports in network or can i check some other settings which need to be set between Server and Client?

Hope someone can give a direction !

Is the UI on the client maybe running with a different time zone?
Are all fields in the detail panel empty?
Do you get log entries/errors when opening the AES detail panel?

Hello Leopold,

1) Yes, client is running in different Timezone, that caused the problem.
I changed the Timezone on my client and now Alarm-Details are visible, thanks for the suggestion.

The situation that we have setup here is that we use a Virtual server, setup for 'North-America' and using 'Dutch' development/engineering machines for modifications. In the future 'North American' engineering machines will be added to the network as well to apply modifications.

- Is it possible to force the system to accept a Client with a different Timezones,
I see a 'timezone' parameter for the ULC-UX client.. Is a similar setting also available for a normal (remote) Client?

Hi,

You can have a look on setenv function which allows you to change the TZ for your UI.

TZ is a GNU env variable and you can find some timezone syntax on the web:

Hi Alex,

I will have a look at it, but i'm expecting this function does exactly the same as a manual setting of the Time-zone in my client, resulting in the problem described above. Not showing Alarm-details and maybe more.

What i would like is that my client can inform the server that's running in another Timezone and so enabling all functionalities that are time depended. Running my remote (other Timezone) client the same as a client running in the local-timezone.

Gr. Michel.

Hi Michel,

We are having same issues with TZ in our project. To solve that we are running all UI automatically within server time. We have an internal DPE containing the server TZ and all connecting UI is switching to this TZ (only ui using setenv). From IT perspective this is not allowed to change OS timezone.
