Troubleshoot

VTScada provides a set of utilities to assist with troubleshooting, analysis, and debugging. In general, the diagnostic utilities are useful to:

• Programmers when writing VTScada script code.
• Customers when directed to use a tool by VTScada support staff, in order to diagnose a problem.

These tools are designed to be functional, rather than user-friendly. Most utilities are not listed in the VAM by default, but can be added using the Find Existing option of the Add Application Wizard. The most versatile and powerful of VTScada's diagnostic utilities is the Source Debugger. Start here when attempting to diagnose performance issues or debug code.

A lack of memory or disk space can cause many problems including slow performance, difficult or failure to log, difficulty or failure to distribute updates.
Check the available space on every server on a regular basis. If the percentage available is becoming small, consider options to clear space or (if this is an Historian server) to install a larger drive.
