Hi Ken, you can find the installers for the versions matching your server version by navigating to https://yourdma.domain/tools

This is indeed the expected behavior, alarms on exported parameters only influence the element state of the DVE child elements. This is done to avoid duplicate alarms in the alarm console on both elements....

Hi Michiel, I'm not sure if this is the case for the QAHelperBaseClasses, but in general, you can choose if a referenced .dll is using a specific version or not in the reference properties. In some cases...

Hi Alberto, This looks like something that will probably require a fix in the software. Can you create a task on the collaboration platform and attach a Visio file where you have this issue to help us...
