The Archives List provides information about each archive's current status, including the current state which is useful for determining the progress of archive operations.
In ViewX, you typically display the Archives List from the Queries Bar.
For other ways of displaying a List, see Display a Queries List in the Geo SCADA ExpertGuide to Lists.
The Archives List for the web interface has a different appearance to the ViewX Archives List (shown above), but contains the same information.
The Archives List provides the following information for each archive:
- Name—The defined name of the archive.
- State—The current state of the archive. The possible states are:
- Not Mounted—The archive device does not contain an archive volume.
- Idle—There is an archive volume in the archive device but there is not an archive operation in progress.
- Writing—An archive operation is in progress and the data is being written to the archive volume.
- Writing <time> remaining—An archive operation is in progress and the data is being written to the archive volume. Geo SCADA Expert calculates an estimate as to how long it will take to complete the operation and displays the time as part of the State Value.
- Scanning—Geo SCADA Expert is scanning the archive volume to make data available.
- Scanning <time> remaining—Geo SCADA Expert is scanning the archive volume to make data available. An estimate as to how long the operation will take to complete is displayed as part of the State value.
