configuration files. You can create an unlimited number of configurations,
but the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager can run only one configuration at
a time.
Configuration Server
The Configuration Server is a Microsoft Windows 2003/XP/Vista/2008 R2
service that runs continuously to provide a single interface to the
configuration (.dat) files that make up the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration. 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 are recorded in an audit trail (via either FactoryTalk
Diagnostics or the Configuration Server *.log file).
Configuration That Uses Online Edits
A configuration that can be changed while it is running and uses the
Transaction Control Manager service to communicate exclusively with
FactoryTalk Live Data servers.
Control Connector
A service that moves data between a data server in the control system and
the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager service.
Control System
Typically includes a network of controllers and/or HMI servers that collect
data from, and control the operation of, machines in a manufacturing plant.
Data Object
A subset of columns in a database table or database view or a set of stored
procedure parameters, along with the database connection information to
access the database. A FactoryTalk Transaction Manager transaction acts on
a single data object, so all of the necessary database information for a
transaction must be contained in a single data object. Data objects are
defined in enterprise connectors.
