Prerequisites
Students must have a good understanding of the Ovation® Solaris-based system architecture and how database point records are built and maintained in the Ovation system.
It is recommended that students attend the OV100-UNX course
prior to attending this course. The OV230-UNX course will also prepare students for this course, but neither course is required.
Description
This course will teach students to set up and retrieve historical data using
the Historian and how to create and generate periodic, event, and trip reports
using the Report Server. Students will create the historical database for
the Historian and will configure its subsystems. Basic troubleshooting skills
will be presented to help students determine problem conditions. This course
is intended for students who will configure, access and maintain the Historian
and Report Server drops of the Ovation system.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, using the reference material provided,
the student will be able to:
List the Ovation Historian subsystem, and explain
and outline the archiving function
Retrieve data from the HSR storage device using the
graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
Use "archive" and "drive" status
functions to maintain the optical media
Set up the Operator Event, Sequence of Events (SOE),
and Alarm subsystems
Determine the proper deadbands for using the
statistical analysis package
Add points to the Ovation Historian
Choose the proper configuration for a given Historian
and configure it to archive to an optical disk
Describe the subsystems of the Report Server
Create and generate reports to print either periodically
or when triggered by a specified event
Design and save a report. Configure the Report Server.
Analyze and correct system problems with available
tools
