Welcome to RSBizWare Chapter 1
Manager hosts a special Web page, the Quick Web Home Page, to
give users view-only access to RSBizWare reports stored on the
server.
The FactoryTalk Transaction Manager Configuration Server is a
Windows service that runs continuously to provide a single interface
to the configuration files (.dat files) that make up FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager. The Configuration Server simplifies access to
configuration files by filtering all changes to the files and interfacing
with other FactoryTalk Transaction Manager services. A collection
of all changes that affect a configuration can be recorded in an audit
trail.
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager is an industrial transaction
manager that provides a bidirectional link from control systems to
enterprise databases. In the RSBizWare suite, FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager Lite is an embedded component that is used
by FactoryTalk Historian Classic and FactoryTalk Metrics as the
underlying data acquisition engine.
The Metrics Server Manager—also referred to as the FactoryTalk
Metrics Enterprise Connection—is a Windows service that resides
between FactoryTalk Transaction Manager and the RSBizWare
database in order to provide an optimized engine for FactoryTalk
Metrics calculations. All FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
transactions that are created for FactoryTalk Metrics data collection
send data to the Metrics Server Manager, not directly to the
database.
The Metrics Server Manager performs the following functions:
• Manages all timers, counters, and formulas defined in the
FactoryTalk Metrics application.
• Summarizes raw control system data.
