Q13681 - INFO: Interface Introduction

Hach WIMS Direct Server-Side Interface to Custom DCS_Points_Retrieved table pulls data from a DCS_POINTS_RETRIEVED and stores the values in the WIMS Database.  This interface works in conjunction with the Hach WIMS Direct Server-Side Utility to Custom SCADA Request Table Q13645 to pull data from an older Emerson DCS system.  Steps to get data:

1. Q13645 Utility inserts data request records in the DCS_POINTS_TO_PROCESS table for all variables linked to this interface

2. A client supplied program checks the DCS_POINTS_TO_PROCESS Table and using an Emerson API pulls summary values for the requested data and puts the data in the DCS_POINTS_RETRIEVED table

3. This Interface reads the data from the DCS_POINTS_RETRIEVED and places the data in the WIMS database for the specified Varids.  Note:  Interface retrieves the earliest STATISTIC_DT_DATE and runs the interface from that date thru the current time.
