How to archive citadel database. we have DSC 6.0.2

we have LabView 6i & DSC 6.0.2 . we develop a application using tags. we want to log our data to citadel database but some time the data is lost for some reason (like system hank or restart).so we want to take a backup of our citadel database.how it will possible.

Pilla,
Unfortunately, 6.0.2 does not have the capability. This was one of the new 6.1 features. Check Table 3 on page 7 in this manual. The Archive Database is what you need for programmatic archive. In 6.1 there is also a new utility called Historical Data Viewer, that allows you to do it manually.

I remember seeing some online document about archiving Citadel database. ... oh, ya, here it is (I searched ni.com for "archiving citadel" and it was the first hit):

Archive citadel database in MAX hangs

I am trying to Archive a 4.13 GB uncompressed DSC database on LabVIEW 2013 SP1 (although the database was started with LabVIEW 2013). I have tried twice and it gets stuck (new location folder size is at 151 MB both times). The progress bar says "Archiving database=20.5%" and "Copying Data=83.0%". I have chosen the option "Destroy source data after it has been archived (local computer only)". The status says "copying data" and I no timestamps of files in the new folder have changed after about 9 hours of waiting. If I cancel, MAX cannot display any Citadel databases. This is fixed if i reboot.
Any ideas?

Hello barkeram,
Where are you storing the archive (locally or remote)?
Are you following the steps in one of the following documents?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E076A0661E03F1EB862571A800079E7B
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2B0C74744BB37391862571F500067C64
Can you try to navigate to the file path of the database and duplicate the file? Afterward, manually add the new database to MAX and try to Archive the new file.

Slow opening archived citadel database on first read

I have archived a citadel database using the archive vi. I then copied this database to another computer. when I try to read data from this archived database, it is taking a long time to return the first set of data (5-10 minutes). New attempts to read data execute much quicker than the first read. Is there a way to improve this opening of the citadel database?? Right now I am using the OPEN DB sub vi that was sent to me to resolve an error accessing citadel problem. The database is not setup as the logging location in the tag engine. This OPEN DB vi is locked so I can't do any kind of probing to see what it is happening. Are you not supposed to work with an archived database??

Bump,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. I archived a DB on my machine and moved it to another Win2k machine. The program works fine, whether or not I use the open and close DB VIs. How much data are you trying to retrieve? You also may have a corrupted database, and Citadel is trying to fix its corruptions when you first access the data. Have you tried to access the original (pre-archive) database with the VI? What is the result?

How to change lifespan programatically for citadel traces in LV DSC

When I archive citadel database with Max, lifespan changes from my values to 356, how do I set individual traces, or all database to previous values of tags lifespan?

Pavel,
Using DSC 6.1 and the latest version of Logos, I was unable to reproduce this error. When I archived part of my Citadel database, the lifespan remained at the previous number. Which version of LabVIEW DSC do you have? Was the "days to keep historical data" setting changed in the Tag Configuration Editor as well? I would highly recommend that you install the latest version of Logos from our web site. Logos handles the Citadel database and all interaction with it. If this does not solve the problem, can you please confirm that it is 356 and not 365?

Display archived citadel data mixed with "live" Lookout machine data using Hypertrend object?

Maybe a new feature request item?
It would be really nice if you could use a Hypertrend object in Lookout to plot historical data from an archived Citadel database. So this would be a feature where you could connect an additional (or many) additional databases as machine processes in (read only mode of course). This would allow mixing display objects (trends) of running processes along with display objects (trends) of archived "processes" in the same Hypertrend display when using Hypertrend in the historical mode.
The Lookout Hypertrend object is awesome and it is about time you folks gave Lookout some attention again to exploit its power and coolness.
Thanks and Happy New Year!!

The hypertrend use Citadel service to transfer the data between computer, while the live data is different, so your problem is probably in networking setting or firewall.
If you have firewall on either computer, follow these KBs.

Lookout client software doesn't install MAX.exe, but if you have MAX.exe on the client computer, you can use MAX to check the connection. In MAX, try to view the remote trace.
You can also use the NI Hypertrend ActiveX object to check the connection. Create a client process with just a NI Hypertrend ActiveX object. Move it to client computer. Edit its properties and add a trace, then try to view the remote trace. See the attached screenshot. If the Citadel communication has problem, you will not see the database or the trace.
The ActiveX object doesn't fix the problem, but can tell you whether the remote connection is good or not.

How do you change values after logging data to the citadel database (DSC)?

How would one go about changing values that already exist in the citadel database. So say I were logging a numeric value with a timestamp for 1 year and then wanted to change a few values for the month of June because my sensor wasn't working at that time. How could I do this? Is it possible without re-creating the whole database over?
Thanks
Matt

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the quick response. I called NI and asked about this because this would be a big show stopper for me. Their applications engineer said that the best way to change previous data would be to read in the trace that you want to change, modify it and save it as a new trace. I am also looking into SQL querying. I was able to connect to the citadel database by setting up a ODBC data source and using the database connectivity toolkit to query the database. This worked. Now I am trying to come up with a statement in SQL to change previously saved data. I'll Keep you posted.
Thanks
Matt
That reinforces my suspicions.
I have an app running for about 8 years now that keeps a paper trail to enusr ethe cartdiges used in respirators (operated NIOSH National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health par teh CDC) that use DSC to enusre nobody can ever falsify those records. If they can be hacked I my customer and anyone using a respirator with a NIOSH sticker on the side of it, want to know.

How to add an array of data in Citadel database

I have an array of data which I want to directly put it in the Citadel Database. Normally the write tag VI writes one value at a time. How can this be done ?

It depends on what you really want. Could you be a little more specific? Does each point have its own separate timestamp? If so, you could simply put the "Write Tag.VI" inside a FOR LOOP and insert values one after another. This would give a separate timestamp to each value. I have attached a simple VI that shows how to do this.
Or are you looking to record some type of vector, where you log a complete array of data at each interval? I don't think this is possible (I'm using DSC 6.02) unless the data-type is a bit-array, in which case you would simply use "Write Data (bit array).vi".
Another option, depending on what you are aiming for, would be to create your own "VI-based Device Server" and use the VIs on the palette submenu call
ed "DSC Server Development". With your own Device Driver you can write multiple datapoints to the input queue simultaneuosly. In this way, you can write more than one point at a time... but that doesn't mean that each time interval will contain an array of data. Assuming that the data is analog, the data will still be logged to Citadel "one after another" so that when you look at it with the HTV, you will see one curve of analog values.

Hi,
Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss.

Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.

It all depends. You don't NEED anything, Firefox runs just fine with it's default setup, and you don't need to install anything to fully experience the best of the web. But lets say you don't like ads. Install Adblock plus. Lets say you want to change themes, there are dozens of them. It's all personal preference.
