Saved Points File

Point Management allows for the saving of derived point data in the event the system is shutdown. The derived point data is stored in a disk file for retrieval during the next system startup.

Specifications:

  • %LOG_PATH% is a logical name defined in the %SITE_ROOT%\data\log_names.cfg file that defines the path to save and find saved_point.stg
  • saved_point.stg is the file containing saved derived point data
Note: The impact on performance of the system is related to the number of points that have been identified as save points. The save point process is I/O intensive such that the points are written to a static fixed record file as they are processed from the Point Management system; thus the more points defined as save points, the greater the impact on the entire system performance.
