Errors (Phase 2) Unable to open synchronization file Message 27-Jun-08 17:27:17 PI Eight Track 1 1> Error 5: Unable to create file ‘\\georgiaking\GeorgiaKingStorage\UnIntFailover\\PIEightTrack_eight_1.dat’ Verify that interface has read/write/create access on file server machine. Initializing UniInt library failed Stopping Interface Cause This message will be seen when the interface is unable to create a new failover synchronization file at startup. The creation of the file only takes place the first time either copy of the interface is started and the file does not exist. The error number most commonly seen is error number 5. Error number 5 is an “access denied” error and is likely the result of a permissions problem. Resolution Ensure the account the interface is running under has read and write permissions for the folder. The “log on as” property of the Windows service may need to be set to an account that has permissions for the folder. Error Opening Synchronization File Message Sun Jun 29 17:18:51 2008 PI Eight Track 1 2> WARNING> Failover Warning: Error = 64 Unable to open Failover Control File ‘\\georgiaking\GeorgiaKingStorage\Eight\PIEightTrack_eight_1.dat’ The interface will not be able to change state if PI is not available Cause This message will be seen when the interface is unable to open the failover synchronization file. The interface failover will continue to operate correctly as long as communication to the PI Server is not interrupted. If communication to PI is interrupted while one or both interfaces cannot access the synchronization file, the interfaces will remain in the state they were in at the time of the second failure, so the primary interface will remain primary and the backup interface will remain backup. Resolution Ensure the account the interface is running under has read and write permissions for the folder and file. The “log on as” property of the Windows service may need to be set to an account that has permissions for the folder and file. Point Builder Utility
Support may be provided in languages other than English in certain centers (listed above) based on availability of attendants. If you select a local language option, we will make best efforts to connect you with an available Technical Support Engineer (TSE) with that language skill. If no local language TSE is available to assist you, you will be routed to the first available attendant. If all available TSEs are busy assisting other customers when you call, you will be prompted to remain on the line to wait for the next available TSE or else leave a voicemail message. If you choose to leave a message, you will not lose your place in the queue. Your voicemail will be treated as a regular phone call and will be directed to the first TSE who becomes available. If you are calling about an ongoing case, be sure to reference your case number when you call so we can connect you to the engineer currently assigned to your case. If that engineer is not available, another engineer will attempt to assist you. Search Support From the OSIsoft Technical Support Web site, click Search Support.
