How to add Chartpro plugin and use it in Rapid Scada version 6

[AFP]

Hello,

First of all, I have to say that I m newbie in Rapid Scada.
Frankly I m very confused on how to use Chartpro plugin on v6.
I downloaded and installed/copied the plugin as needed ( based on V5 plugin installation) but I don’t know how to active it as plugin tab is not more present in Main Menu.
Furthermore I don’t know how to use it in that rapid scada version.

Please, any help and support is welcome.

How can I get computer code ?

[Mikhail]

Hello,
In Administrator you should edit ScadaWebConfig.xml manually.

  <Plugins>
...
    <Plugin code="PlgChartPro" />
...
  </Plugins>
  <PluginAssignment>
    <ChartFeature>PlgChartPro</ChartFeature>
...
  </PluginAssignment>

[Mikhail]

Computer code will be displayed by the plugin.

Hello Mikhail,

Thank you for your feedback.
I did what you said in your first message but I’m getting following error in the webstation logs :

[ERR] Error creating plugin logic PlgChartPro of type Scada.Web.Plugins.PlgChartPro.PlgChartProLogic from file C:\Program Files\SCADA\ScadaWeb\PlgChartPro.dll: Could not load type ‘Scada.Web.Plugins.PlgChartPro.PlgChartProLogic’ from assembly ‘PlgChartPro, Version=5.1.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’.

And when clicking in any channel in a table view I’m getting following pop up message :

No plugin implements the charting feature.

Please, how can I fix this issue ?

Best regards,

Christian

Hello,
Did you install Chart Pro for v6 or v5?

[AFP]

I installed ChartPro 5.
Where is the link for ChartPro 6 or other plugins compatible with RapidScada 6 beta , please ?

[AFP]

I have found the correct link for chartpro.
I ‘m going to use it then I will let you know

[AFP]

Now it seems like the Chartpro plugin loaded successfully.
I can now get computer code for activation.

I have a question at this step:
How can I set things such when I click on an channel in table view the application shows related chartpro page like with have in live demo application ?
In my case when I click on channel I’m getting following pop up window as you can see in the picture

This below part of ScadaWebConfig.xml assigns Chart Pro for views:
<ChartFeature>PlgChartPro</ChartFeature>
You should check ScadaWeb.log if there are any errors after restart of web application.

When you got a key, add PlgChartPro_Reg.xml to Webstation configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RegKey>YOUR_KEY</RegKey>

Hello Mikhail,

This is exactly what I did as you can see in following pictures.

But the situation is the same. Chartpro link doesn’t work.

Hello,

Restart IIS, or simply reload the computer.
This issue is because adding a new plugin requires full restart of web application. We should think how to make it clear for users.

[Mikhail]

New web forms of the plugin can be registered in a web application only when it starts.

[Mikhail]

Check the direct link http://localhost:8080/ChartPro/ChartPro?cnlNums=101&startDate=2022-09-09

[AFP]

I restarted IIS and Computer but I’m still having thi issue.
The above link show only a blank page with a menu at the left top corner as you can see in the following screeshot.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16q1W2uEw_IdLj1uCcbfab_mjtH6EQABH/view?usp=sharing

And all menu buttons under this link don’t work as expected.

Regards,

Christian
