Hello all,
I am trying to find a clean way to execute the generation of a report on a central gateway server from a trigger originating from an Edge client project. All the data that will be used for the report is stored on a Tag Historian database on the central, using store and forward from the Edge, and I would like to not have to have a Realtime Tag Provider of the Edge tags on the central, if at all possible.
The only way I can really think of is to make the trigger on the Edge a History tag, and run a scheduled script on the central to see if there is a new entry in the Tag Historian, and execute the report generation. I would also need to store that value in some way to use to compare against the next change, such as in a memory tag, and do a simple comparison in the script to trigger the report.
I appreciate any help!
