Progress

Status of each manual and each practiced task. Update this file as work proceeds.

Manual status: not started · summarized · in practice · done Task status: not practiced · practiced, awaiting confirmation · passed · not completed (see notes) Sample column: whether the task has been re-tested on CI-Eng-Sample: n/a (needs no project data) · pending (tested on AID only) · added (sample content built) · passed

A task is done only when Status is passed and Sample is passed or n/a. Then AID is no longer needed to repeat it.

Test system

Practice notes refer to the repo author's development test system, not to anything shipped with this repo:

  • CI Server R1.03.00, unlicensed, on the development machine.
  • AID (e.g. AID.WRPS.SIM.INFLOW) is the author's own test project on that machine. It is not in this repo and other systems will not have it. Item names here are evidence of what was tested, not names to use elsewhere.
  • Communication stations seen there (WRPS_PLC, MODSIM_STATION, STN_MQTT) belong to AID.

Tasks may be practiced first on AID, but everything they need is then added to the sample project CI-Eng-Sample (examples/CI-Eng-Sample/) and re-tested there, so that in the end AID is not needed.

Order change after reading IM 36K10J10: its migration procedure (§5.6) shows the dependency chain communication lines/stations/points → installations/units → items (template items first) → storage groups → classes → objects → reports. So acquisition and items (phase 5) now come before classes and objects (phase 6), and the other interfaces follow as phase 7.

Tasks

Manual Task Status Sample Notes
J10 System check: version, paths, running state, time sync (skill) passed n/a Started CI Service elevated; live version R1.03.00; node UNLICENCED (expected).
J10 Time sync check (w32tm); DURUTL configuration (durutl.sup) passed (check); configuration not practiced n/a w32tm check verified in system-check. durutl.sup has no active settings (single node, not a time master); configuring DURUTL needs a second node, so not practiced.
J10 Export a dataset with dssqld (task) passed n/a Filtered export (@SELECT) passed (ISS-003, closed).
J10 Import and delete dataset records with dssqld (-i, -r) (task) passed passed Built CI-Eng-Sample: 3 sections + 4 items imported, removed and re-imported with 0 errors. 2026-09-30 later: -m (update, used to set a storage group stop time) and loading/removing storage groups passed; see ISS-005.
J10 Read an item with itmval -g (task) passed passed Read AID.WRPS.* items. -a 1..5 gave ITM-E-WRONG_ATT on an item without limits; works on items with limits (ISS-004, closed).
J10 Write an item with itmval -p (task) passed passed Sample: TANK1.INFLOW 120.5 then 130 with -s 9, PUMP1.RUNNING 1 (status 5 BOOLEAN 1); no uoff flag. AID: AID.WRPS.SIM.INFLOW 419.76 → 400 → 419.76. After the first write the item's options gained the uoff flag (0x8a → 0x8e) = updated offline, option bit 4 (written while its station was offline). See ISS-001, closed.
J10 Read the message log (tls\log\umhlog.log) passed n/a
J10 Per-component version list (tls\lst\tls_versions.lst) passed n/a
J10 Load history from CSV with ithloahis; read history back with dssqld (task) passed passed Sample storage group CIENG_EVENT (Event/Item). SCAN file (LEVEL 61–63, INFLOW 101–103) and EVENT file (LEVEL 47, 48) stored and read back via ITEM_HISTORY. New groups need a CI Server restart before they store; samples dated before the current storage unit were not stored (ISS-006).
J10 Consistency check (dsschk, ismchk) (task) passed (check); repair and ismchk not practiced n/a dsschk -e -v (check only) reports each of 228 datasets, no problems. Plain dsschk prints nothing on a single node. ismchk needs a database file name; not run (ISS-002, closed).
J10 Monitoring processes (intmon, intcpumon, intdskmon, inttcpmon, intspawn) (task) passed passed All five worked into CI-Eng-Sample.SYSTEM.* / PUMP1.MODE, started by hand with <exe> -n <name>; setup files restored afterwards. intdskmon reports used %; intspawn command path must be short (ISS-007).
J10 Backup of tls folders not practiced n/a Plan only; the actual backup tool is site-specific.
J10 Migration between systems (§5.6) not practiced added After phase 6 CI-Eng-Sample has every data kind in the chain up to classes/objects (items, points, storage groups, classes, objects). Export with dssqld -e works; the import into a second system is not practiced (no second system).
J10 Tuning checks (read-only) (task) passed n/a Read dur.sup (max processes 250), itm.sup (item pool 650,000 KB) and the automatic health snapshots tls\log\smd_*.log (common memory free, queue use per process, lock collisions). Debug launchers and interactive debuggers not practiced.
C10/C30 Setup check script tools/setup_check.ps1 (task) passed n/a Read-only; 16 OK / 5 CHECK / 15 DIFF on the Win10 Pro test PC (kept as dev PC by decision).
C10 Read ci_start.log and web ports (jwuiisg.sup) passed n/a All services started; SSL error ISS-008.
C10 Start / stop CI Server passed (phase 1) n/a Via the CI Service (elevated). Start-menu shortcuts not used.
C10 New install, reinstall, upgrade, uninstall, licence not practiced n/a Would reinstall or change the test system; only the installed R1.03 is available. Skipped.
C10 Windows settings changes (power, virtual memory, Defender, updates, …) not practiced n/a Test PC kept as a development PC (user decision 2026-09-30); not applied.
C10 Vnet/IP drivers / Vnet/IP Interface Package not practiced n/a No Vnet/IP card; not supported on Windows 10 Pro.
C30 IT Security Tool, Domain Link Management, account utilities not practiced n/a Not installed and not supported on Windows 10 Pro.
G10 Sub-items: Integrator, Min-Max (SUB_ITEM_DF) (task) passed passed Integrator adds value × seconds; TIME_UNIT ignored.
G10 Block / unblock an item (ITEM_DF.BLOCKED via dssqld -m); write with itmval -o (task) passed passed blk flag, writes without -o silently ignored; ublk (updated blocked) after unblock (ISS-001, closed).
G10 Trigger group, class (compile on load), object via quick load (task) passed passed DEMO.COUNTER counts every second; full remove/load cycle clean. Phase 6: three classes and objects in one remove/load cycle, 0 errors. A class that fails to compile is not inserted (DSI-E-OPCCOMERR); error lines appear in LISTING after insert with COMPILE 0 and a compile update (test class removed).
P10/L10 Traditional class with prompt/attribute, signal from SECTION, item created from a template, ERROR check, >=:, PRINT; attribute change via OBJECT_ATTR_VAL (task) passed passed CIENG_TANK / TANK1.CALC: volume 50→100, 82→164; capacity 0 refused; capacity 200→400 took effect on next run; created item and section deleted with the object. % in PRINT cuts the message (ISS-025).
P11 Java class (task) passed passed CIENG_JFLOW / TANK1.JFLOW: inflow 120→2, 90→1.5, systemMessage in umhlog.log from OPCJEXE. Created item keeps the identifier's case (…JFLOW.sPerMin). Worked without a class reset (ISS-029).
L10 Change a class with objects: compile + reset (task) passed passed Old code runs until reset (RESET_REQUIRED 1). opcdbg Reset class works (extra prompt for a report file); dssqld CLASS_DF.RESET does nothing, OBJECT_DF.RESET refused (ISS-028).
L10 opcdbg read-only checks (task) passed passed Database check (one never-compiled foreign class SINUS), get class/object, object status/signals/attributes, executor main info. Dumps are not dssqld-readable (ISS-027).
G10/C10 Authorization group and user creation (task) passed passed Group CIENG_VIEWER (sample file 08_auth_group_df.qli) loaded/removed by Claude; test user CIENG_TEST (no password) loaded by the user, checked and removed. The sample creates no users.
C10 String items: length 1–200, holds length − 1 characters (task) passed passed Tested with temporary CI-Eng-Sample.DEMO.STR* items (removed): 201 rejected; too-long writes cut, status 12 OVERRANGED (ISS-019).
C10 Integrator time unit: integration granule itm_int_secs in itm.sup (task) passed passed 60 → RUN_SECONDS +1 per minute; restored to 1 (file identical to backup), +1 per second again (ISS-010). Elevated restarts run by the user.
G10 Displays, symbols, Operator Interface test not practiced pending GUI (Edit Module); phase 10.
L41/C10 Modbus TCP line, station, scan type, points, connected items by quick load (task) passed passed Loopback to CI Server's own Modbus slave (eqpmdcmem + eqpmdcslvtcp on 5020, started by hand). Line load created and started EQPCIENG; removal stopped it and deleted its files. Write/read-back, off-scan/on-scan checked; full remove/reload from sample files. Protocol must be Open Modbus/TCP (ISS-024). Mirror start files copied to tls\com by the user; after a restart everything came back under the CI Service and the setpoint was re-sent on connect.
G10 Alarms, reports, audit, RDBMS, history not practiced pending Covered in their own phases (7–12).
R10/R20 Read a setup file: active settings and keyword help (task) passed n/a Read-only. Compared with the Setup File Editor GUI for wfla_display.sup, wflgdi.sup and all 9 tabs of jwuiisg.sup: fields and values identical. Manual differences logged as ISS-012 to ISS-017 (installed software taken as the reference).
R10 Check web access for CI View: ports, Remote Connect page, DEPLOY folder (task) passed n/a 8080/8443 listening, page 200, six DEPLOY folders.
R10/R20 Change a setup file safely (task) passed n/a jwuiisg.sup HTTP port 8080 → 8081 (text edit, elevated restart): 8081 served the page, 8080 refused; restored, hash identical to backup. Editor: OK writes at once, Reset Field restores the default (ISS-016).
R10 Separate CI Portal node (licence, DURM line, dur.sup host node, copy displays) not practiced n/a Needs a second node.
R10 Login method / login control not practiced n/a Moved to dssana.sup (ISS-017); phase 5 (C10) and 13 (J40).
L45/E20 OPC UA client → own OPC UA server loopback by quick load; certificate exchange; node IDs (task) passed passed Station CIENG_UA (opc.tcp://localhost:34493, Basic256Sha256/SignAndEncrypt): UA.LEVEL_COPY follows TANK1.LEVEL (55, 62.5, 71, 33, 44.4), UA.SRV_STATE 0. Certificates trusted by the user (client side, then server side). Entity namespace urn:Yokogawa:CI_SERVER_OPC_UA_SERVER found by browsing OPCUAC_TAG_DF (ISS-032). Full remove/reload clean, reconnects without a new exchange. User configured a point in the Engineering Module: browse stores the item object, value node must be typed (ISS-033); test item/point removed afterwards.
L45 ACCESS read-only checks: processes, ports, OPC UA server config/PKI, ODBC server (task) passed n/a ISS-008 cause found: odbsrv cannot load its SSL certificate (folder tls\pki\odbsrv missing) and exits.
L30 BUS utilities: durwfp, setup files (dur.sup, durm_1_udp.sup, time_table.sup, fmfprt.sup) (task) passed (read-only) n/a umhman, umhtestprog, umhmsg fail (ISS-030). Unlicensed run-time limit hit and documented (ISS-031).
L30 MDUR node links, encryption, logical addresses, printer devices not practiced n/a Single node, no printer devices.
L55 CI Exchange for CENTUM VP / Prodigy not practiced n/a Needs CENTUM VP (RGS, Vnet/IP) or Prodigy data.
