Full manual diffs (C50, R30, C60, L20, C40, L35, R10, R20, J10, L30, L50, P30, G10, C10) and read-only checks on the shared R1.05 test server where the permission system allowed them. Skills and summaries moved to R1.05. Issues ISS-092..129 (gaps 104-107, 114-115, 130-131 unused); ISS-074 closed (manual and software agree), ISS-091 corrected by ISS-119. version-differences: unlisted manual changes and installed-only changes. r105-verification: V5-V9 and new not-tested rows.

| Check storage groups, units and history clients with hisdbg; force a rollover | R1.05 (first written for R1.03) | IM 36K10L20-01EN §2.1, §3.1 (4th Edition, Feb. 2026); IM 36K10C40-01EN §5.1 (5th Edition, Feb. 2026); practiced on the test system and CI-Eng-Sample 2026-10-01 | verified on R1.03 (2026-10-01). R1.05 - the manual sections are unchanged and the hisdbg program is still installed (2026-10-08), but hisdbg was not run on the R1.05 test server (awaiting user verification, ISS-101; steps at the end) |
History checks (hisdbg)
Interactive; pipe the answers from bash with a timeout. The first answer is the node (blank =
local), the last -1 exits. Never send blank lines at the action prompt blindly (a blank repeats
the previous action).
printf '\n1\n20\n6\n-1\n' | timeout 20 hisdbg
printf '\n21\n<GROUP>\n3\n\n-1\n' | timeout 20 hisdbg
| Option | Shows | Safe |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Statistics: group count, logged-in clients, unit starts / stops / rollovers / deletions since start | yes |
| 20 | All groups: name, node,group number, history type (24 item, 21 alarm, 6 audit, 1058 report, 36 system log, 4 station statistics) | yes |
21 <name> |
Group info: path, next unit and file name, opt_type (1 1 Scan/Time, 2 2 Event/Item, 4 4 Aggregation), start, stop, first rollover, interval, life time (all GMT), GMT/LCT rollover, archiving |
yes |
| 3 (then blank = this group) | Units: unit, data, file, start, stop or --- active ---, delete time |
yes |
| 6 | Clients logged in at the history manager | yes |
| 11 | Unknown history files | yes |
| 5 | Force rollover of the current group (closes the active unit, starts the next) | changes files — with approval |
| 4, 8, 10, 12, 9 | Delete unit / group, restore unit, delete unknown files, change schedule | no — never without explicit approval |
A rollover can also be forced with dssqld -m on HIS_GROUP_DF (NAME,FORCE_ROLLOVER =
"<group>",1). A second forced rollover within 2 minutes is refused
(DSI-E-ROLLDONE, Rollover already done in the last two minutes; verified 2026-10-01).
History files are in %TLS_ALLUSERS_PATH%\tls\his\ (path shown by option 21):
h<node><group><unit><data>.his with base-32 digits, e.g. group 1,54 → h0101m….
What to look for
- New group but no history: no active unit after loading → restart CI Server (ISS-006).
- Unit start dates: the first unit of an Event/Item or Aggregation group is dated 2 days back
(
gap_time); history loaded before the first unit opened after the restart is dropped (seestorage-groups.md§5). - After a CI Server restart the unit sequence increases (the start script runs
hisrep). - Delete times = stop time + life time.
Verified (R1.03, 2026-10-01)
45 groups, 30 clients; CIENG_EVENT group 1,54, opt_type 2 2, daily GMT rollover, life 7
days; units 1,1 (created at load) → 3,1 after restart → forced rollover closed 3,1 at 12:05:26
and opened 3,2. CIENG_SCAN10S 1,55 1 1; CIENG_AGG 1,56 4 4 with extra h0101ozzz… files.
R1.05: awaiting user verification (ISS-101)
On the R1.05 test server, in a normal command prompt (read-only options only):
hisdbg
Answer the node prompt with Enter (local), then 1 (statistics), 20 (all groups), 6
(clients), and -1 to exit. Do not choose any other number. Expected: the same menu as R1.03
(-1 … 22), the system groups with history types 21, 6, 1058, 36, 4 (no item group unless
the server has one), and clients such as ITH*, ALH, ADTSTO, LGHUMH, RPTMAN. Send the output.
