5.22 Deleting the diagnostics area

Changes in the software
● Change the standard message server for the "Alarms" component
If the assigned standard message server for the "Alarms" component is changed in a plant
configuration in a multiple-station system with an OS client, the MS server then has to be
compiled and downloaded.
You can find additional information about this in the manual
7; Operator Station in the section "How to assign the standard server".
● Change the screen resolution
If the screen resolution is changed in the "Available Layouts:" group on the "Layout" tab of
the OS project editor, the next time "Create/Update Diagnostic Screens" is called, the
available overview screen is renamed and a new overview screen that corresponds to the
new screen resolution is created. A respective message is included in the log of the function
"Create/Update Diagnostics Screens". This also provides the new name of the former
overview screen.
If you have manually changed the overview screen, you can manually carry out the changes
in the current overview picture by copying from the former overview screen.
All other existing diagnostic screens retain their screen resolution. If the images are created
in a new screen resolution, you must manually delete the screens. User-specific changes
will be lost.
Changing the storage location of a subproject
If you change the storage location of a subproject with the "Save As" function, you must stop
the SIMATIC PDM Asset Service before performing the "Save As" operation.
When the "Save As" operation is finished, you must restart SIMATIC PDM Asset Service.
