Error and Informational Messages
A string NameID is pre-pended to error messages written to the message log. Name is a non-
configurable identifier that is no longer than 9 characters. ID is a configurable identifier that
is no longer than 9 characters and is specified using the /id parameter on the startup
command-line.
Message Logs
The location of the message log depends upon the platform on which the interface is running.
See the UniInt Interface User Manual for more information.
Messages are written to PIHOME\dat\pipc.log at the following times .

When the interface starts many informational messages are written to the log. These
include the version of the interface, the version of UniInt, the command-line
parameters used, and the number of points.

As the interface retrieves points, messages are sent to the log if there are any
problems with the configuration of the points.

If the /dbUniInt is used on the command-line, then various informational messages
are written to the log file.
Messages
Interface Startup Messages
When the interface is started, the log file will contain informational messages that describe
the settings that will be used from the startup script and the
PItoPI.ini file. The interface
will then print a message stating the receiving Historian Server and a message for each source
Historian Server. The message for each source Historian Server also states the time offset
between source and receiving Historian Server along with time zone differences. Note that
the
PItoPI.ini can be used to configure a different source server for each scan class. In
addition each source server (and therefore scan class) can have different history recovery
parameters. Finally the
PItoPI.ini can be used to specify which scan class signs up for
exceptions (default is scan class 1 gets exception data unless /hronly is specified in
PItoPI.bat ). After printing a message specifying the receiving and source Historian
Servers it prints a message for each scan class stating if it will collect archive or exception
data, the source Historian Server for that scan class and the history recovery parameters.
