WebWare Device Information Highlight any device on the tree other than the network node. The Info page for that device will appear. The data shown in the figure can be assigned using one of three methods: If the WebWare Device is a real or virtual controller, the values can be set from RAPID using functions available in the WebWare System Module (WEBWARE.SYS).
•
If the device is a WebWare Client Application, the values can be set using the WebWare ActiveX control. For more information about creating WebWare Client Applications, refer to the WebWare SDK online help.
•
If the device is an OPC Device, these values are configured using the Device Configuration Utility. For complete details, see Configuring the Device Configuration Utility (DCU) in the Device Configuration Utility help file.

Basic Concepts The query builder is designed to conceal some of the difficulties with creating SQL queries. In order to prevent you from getting bogged down in the details, some of the power of SQL is cloaked in the WebWare Server Query Builder interface. Because of the compromises that were made, some queries cannot be created via the query builder. To create a readable chart, follow these guidelines: •
Make the data set fairly small (less than 25 items)
•
Make the first column in the query a text field. Make the next 1 - 5 columns numeric.
© Copyright 2008 ABB. All rights reserved.
One of the most important things to remember about the WebWare Query Builder page is that the sort order applies to all columns in the query, from left to right.

2 Using ABB WebWare Client 2.3.14. How to Use the Query Builder Page Continued
Building a Query The query builder attempts to create a well-structured query by gathering user input for each field allowed for a typical type of a query. In WebWare's query building tool, the SELECT statement is configured in a two step procedure. First step is to select which type of data to query (counter, timer, etc.). Second step is to add/remove needed fields. There are four standard types of data in the WebWare Database. The WebWare query builder also allows users to query custom databases created by various WebWare controls or RAPID programs. The remainder of this section focuses only on the four standard types of data: •
Counters
•
Timers
•
Log Events
•
OPC Alarm and Events

The illustration below shows the page where you can select the data source for your query.

Continues on next page 58
3HAC031360-001 Revision: A
2 Using ABB WebWare Client 2.3.14. How to Use the Query Builder Page Continued As an example, if you decide to query Counter data, WebWare automatically selects the unique fields available for Counter type data. For counters you select from the following fields: •
Device Name
•
Device Class
•
Device Type
•
Counter Name
•
Time
•
Value
A query can have duplicate fields. Each of the standard data types has a set of unique fields taken from a defined set of tables. This is different from Microsoft Access, where you build a query by selecting the tables to be included in a query.

Refining a Query After you have selected a query type and the fields that you need in your query, you may have to refine the query to display only the data you are interested in. For example, you may want to create a query that displays values for just one counter, or for errors that occurred during a certain time span. It is simple to create queries that exclude/include certain text strings or a range of numbers. For example, in the Counter Query there is a field named Value. To refine a query to return all counters that contain a value greater than twenty and less than one hundred would be written using this syntax: >20 AND

Remember, the contents of the last successful backup folder are overwritten each time a new backup is run.

The icons for the backup folders have changed, but the red/green schema is still in place - red icons indicate backups that are incomplete or contain errors. The last successful backup folder schema is also still in place - the contents of that folder will be overwritten each time a new backup is run. The master backup folder schema is also still in place.

2 Using ABB WebWare Client 2.4.19. How to Restore a Backup Using WebWare
2.4.19. How to Restore a Backup Using WebWare Introduction You can restore files to the robot controller´s ramdisk using the restore function provided at the WebWare Server web site. Using this feature allows you to transfer any backup set to the robot controller and in the second phase restore the backed up files using the teach pendant. This function is specially valuable if you have not implemented the WebWare RAPID Restore feature in your RAPID robot program. Procedure The following procedure describes how to restore files and folders to a robot controller using WebWare. 1. Browse to the Backup Restore page at the WebWare web site. 2. Browse in the device tree to the backup file set you will restore, e.g. the Master backup. Click the on the folder name to highlight it.

2 Using ABB WebWare Client 2.4.21. How to Restore Files from an NFS Mount Using the Robot Teach Pendant
2.4.21. How to Restore Files from an NFS Mount Using the Robot Teach Pendant Introduction It is possible to restore Webware backups from an NFS mount using the robot teach/flex pendant, if NFS is enabled, and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is disabled. It is also possible to restore robot backups from an NFS mount that were initiated from the robot teach/flex pendant. It is not possible to restore Webware backups with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe enabled or if NFS is disabled as the files are invisible to the robot controller. In this case the restore function available in the WebWare RAPID module (WEBWARE.SYS) must be used. In this case, use the RAPID command, WWRestore. To enable the WWRestore procedure, a program needs to be written that restores named files or folders to a specified controller location (on the ramdisk). For more information, see WebWare RAPID Restore Procedure on page 125. Using the NFS restore command from the robot teach/flex pendant, all files in a backup are loaded into controller memory using a single command.
