MII 14.0 - PCo Query - Tag Selection Mask

former_member191528 — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:59:21 GMT

Hello All,

We are migrating from MII 12.1 to MII 14.0. We are evaluating changing Tag Queries and replacing them with PCo query. We are heavily using Tag queries with mode as Tag List and the Tag Selection Mask feature.

In Pco query in tag list mode we dont see these features. We need to set this mask at runtime based on user inputs. For example. The user can search any tag which starts with AB using the mask AB%. The user can select any mask.

How can we accomplish this using MII 14.0 ?

Thanks,

Kiran

Where are you querying the data from?

For example, if you're reading tags from an OSISOFT PI Historian, the "mask" attribute should be tag='AB*'

Note the single quotes!

The mask value in PCo queries is dependent on the "source" system masking procedure and format.

Hi Paul,

I am calling the query through an applet via an IRPT which has mask as an attribute. We are connecting to IP21 and when we pass something like 'HM%' it does not work.

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Have you tried using javascript method setMask(String mask) on query object through IRPT?

Hi Kiran,

Do you face any error or does the mask property simply not work? This method is supported by PCo query. In deal situations it should work without error.

Hi Anushree !! The mask was also not working at design time. We recently applied a patch MII 14.0 SP5 .I will test it from irpt page and see if it works now. I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

Kiran
