Indusoft Web Studio Error Messages?


Apologies if this is a pretty simple question, but I'm pretty new to IWS.

When ever I startup IWS (it's running on Microsoft Server that I remote desktop into) and enter my login details I get this message:

Failed to start TCP/IP Server, please check if the TCP port is already in use

During this same session I will also get the message below whenever I try to change tags in my trend sheets:

WARNING: Tag changes in any trend group will only take place in the next day history file.

It seems any changes I make in relation to tags and driver sheets are ignored and I want to know if this is related to the above error messages and how do I go about debugging/fixing this?

Note: I do not get these messages in other IWS sessions on other servers and I don't experience these problems.


Solution

  • Projects running the TCP/IP Server task use a TCP Port that is defined in the InduSoft Project Settings - Communication tab. By default, InduSoft uses port 1234. The error message you mention can occur if another process binds to that port before InduSoft has started the TCP/IP Server task.
