Weatherlink Gremlins are Back!!
« on: July 30, 2008, 08:42:57 PM »
Hello,

I discovered today a old problem reappearing #-o for some reason Weatherlink decided to stop downloading new data into the database since 5:25pm yesterday. I tried to use test databases and the samething it tries to download all 513 records and no new data since yesterday at 5:20pm any help would be appreicated as I hate to have to clear out the data base to get it working again

It should be noted I find no bad data in the database, No console errors or log errors at all so I dont know what the problem is

Thanks

Just an idea, but if you download my VirtualVP http://www.softwx.com program, install it, and then configure it and have it connect to your console, the first thing it does is download the entire data logger archive contents and store them in a file. Once it's done that, you can exit it and uninstall if you want. But in the folder you'll find the file it made of the archive. It's called archive.dat or something like that. If you then email me the file (support at softwx.com) I can view the contents (I have a utility that reads the file and formats the contents into something readable) and tell you if there's something goofy (or anything at all) in your data logger archive contents.

VirtualVP has a 30 day trial, so you can run this test without registering it. Also, since you won't be actually using VirtualVP for what it's intended to do, you don't need to download and install the N8VBvCOM driver. Just make sure that WeatherLink isn't running when you run VirtualVP.

I'm not aware of another way to easily view the actual data logger archive contents.

From your description, it sounds like the console data logger archive might have some bad data in it.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the comments, also I forget to mention I am already running Virtual Vp and I am running Weatherlink and Weatherdisplay the data in weatherdisplay is fine but weatherlink has the problem the Virtual Vp uptime is 3 days and 15 hours I looked in the Vp file folder and found two files archiveCache and archiveCache.dat.tmp which file are you wanting to look at.

Also Im am using Windows Xp

Thanks
