Script Datasource - Reading Tag Historian Query results in Reporting Module 6.1.25

Ignition

Ignition: 8.1.25
Reporting Module: 6.1.25
Historian: IgnitionDB01 (MSSQL)

Setup:

  • Tag Historian Query data key named ITLoad_Start
  • Tag paths added by dragging from IgnitionDB01 historian browser
  • Script datasource named ITLoad_Calculated tries to read from ITLoad_Start

Current code:
startDs = data['ITLoad_Start'].getCoreResults()
rowCount = startDs.getRowCount() # returns 0
value = startDs.getValueAt(0, 'kul12_reporting/dpm/l1/pdu_l1_n1/energy/kwh') #
returns nothing

Problem:

  • No script errors
  • getCoreResults() returns a dataset object
  • getRowCount() returns 0 even though historian has data
  • Preview shows empty table
  • Parameters StartDate and EndDate have default values set
  • Tag paths confirmed correct format from dragging

Questions:

  1. Is getCoreResults() the correct method to access Tag Historian Query results?
  2. Why does getRowCount() return 0?
  3. What is the correct column name format to use in getValueAt()?
  4. Is there a working example of Script datasource reading from Tag Historian Query?

Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

getCoreResults Is the correct method to access the results of a query type parameter in reporting.

Based on the fact that your table is showing as empty in preview, I would say that your tag history query is returning no rows. getRowCount() returning 0 would support with this.

Double check the parameter values being fed to the tag history query. Are you defining valid start/end times to the query? Is there actually data for the time span you are querying? Are you correctly feeding the parameter values to the query?
