Q14507 - INFO: How to ignore location parameters to speed up interface

ADVANCED USERS ONLY!

The Claros interface requests data for all location parameters in the Tenant. It then looks at those records and if it finds a cross referenced variable will import that data into WIMS.

If you have a large number of Location Parameters or Location Parameters from MSM (that logs data every 30 seconds) this can cause the interface to run very slowly. If these points are not intended to be imported into WIMS you can instruct the interface to ignore these Location Parameters and greatly increase the speed of the interface.

To ignore a location parameter:

1. Find the GUID (key id) of the Location Parameter.

In the interface log file you will see a list of Location Parameter IDs (LPIDs):

12:10:46 : Parse LP377 LPID=aaaaaaaa-a991-48d4-90f0-37b94424xxxx LOCID=xxxxxxx-2e58-416f-bd87-e7e08308c633 PARMID=yyyyyyyy-52d6-4819-9aec-e8af1314f8e8 PARMNAME=PARAMETERTYPE.PH

In this example I see it is for Parameter PH for LocationID=xxxxxxx-2e58-416f-bd87-e7e08308c633. Search the logfile for the Location ID and you will see the Location listed.

12:12:07 : Location: Rocky Creek WWTP\Influent\OnLine Data(xxxxxxx-2e58-416f-bd87-e7e08308c633) added.

You now know LPID=aaaaaaaa-a991-48d4-90f0-37b94424xxxx is for your Rocky Creek WWTP\Influent\OnLine Data pH.

2. Create a IgnoreLPIDs.txt file in the same folder as your interface exe (I.e. the Q14412.exe) using notepad. List the LPIDs (each one on a line) to ignore these LPIDs.
