Using the Scada.Addin.Contracts API For Custom Archive Utility(s)

Using the Scada.Addin.Contracts API For Custom Archive Utility(s)

Hi There,

In our design we have lots of duplicate equipment (solar farm inverters) and we would like to create an On Change Archive for each one.

I am in the process of creating a duplication utility that uses substitution in a similar way that Zenon uses substitution in screens. There are a couple of issues I am facing creating a solution

Given an IEditorArchive as input

how do i
1. Get its identification
2. Get its long name
3. Get the Name or IVariable (not IArchiveVariable) reference of each variable within the archive.

I am writing this code because yesterday I had to manually create 44 Duplicates, this took me 3 hours i dont ever want to do that again...
I tried exporting and using find and replace in the XML but when I re-imported nothing happened.
