3. To update the data on this tab with the data from the FactoryTalk Metrics database,
click Update lists from database.
4. Complete the following fields:
„
BizWare login. Type the login name of an RSBizWare user with FactoryTalk
Metrics Authoring privileges.
„
BizWare password. Type the password for the RSBizWare user.
„
FTTM configuration. Select the name of the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration you generated on the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager tab. This is
necessary because the data that configures both FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
and FactoryTalk Metrics must be the same.
„
Disable events. Select this option to disable all custom events in the
configuration. The new events (Analog, Digital, and Monitored Value) for the
selected workcells will still be created, but they will be disabled. In addition, all
custom events for all workcells, whether or not you select them in the
configuration tool, will be disabled. You must manually enable any custom events
that you want FactoryTalk Metrics to collect. If the import fails, the events may
still be disabled.
5. To generate the FactoryTalk Metrics configuration file, click Generate FT Metrics
XML.
6. To import the workcell data to FactoryTalk Metrics, click Import to FT Metrics.
Unless a warning message appears, the configuration for FactoryTalk Metrics LE is
imported into FactoryTalk Metrics.
Modifying performance parameters
Once the FactoryTalk Metrics LE performance parameters are imported into FactoryTalk
Metrics, you can customize them.
Changes are made through the RSBizWare Configuration Console. For more information
about changing performance parameters, see the FactoryTalk Metrics Users Guide.
Do not make any changes to the workcell data on this tab. Any changes you make to the
workcells on this FT Metrics tab will cause the data in the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration and the data in the FactoryTalk Metrics performance parameters to be
inconsistent. Therefore, the data collection for the workcells will not work properly.
If you select Disable events, you will disable all events in the FactoryTalk Metrics
application for all workcells, whether or not the workcells are selected for configuration in
the FactoryTalk Metrics LE Configuration Tool
