I’m very new to SCADA programming and I’m in need of some help. I’m running version 7.8.3 on Win 7 x64 and MySQL.

I have a project where I’ve added a window with an alarm journal, but the journal has a red overlay with a 301 Data Quality. On my last project, I added an alarm journal without any trouble - using an auto Journal Name worked fine. In this project, I only have one Alarm Journal and I’ve tried using an auto Journal Name and a user-selected Journal Name to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

It turns out that I hadn’t setup Journaling in the gateway. Dumb mistake.
