We would like to know what is the expected behavior when I perform a history set in a parameter with the same value that already has.
Imagine a DataMiner parameter (Parameter01) with the value 0 set at 10:00:00. If I perform a history set over the Parameter01 with the value 0 and the timestamp 10:01:00, how will DataMiner take it into account? Will it will keep internally the same time (10:00:00) because the value has not changed or will it update the timestamp to 10:01:00 because I’m performing a history set?
Hi Fernando,
Dataminer will indeed internally update the time. So whilst the value stays the same the internal time will be updated. Other routines such as closing a trendwindow might also be triggered if necessary.
To showcase this I did a quick set on a historyset as you described. Using the GetParameterMessage in the clienttesttool you can see that the internal time is updated.
Thank you Brent for your quick answer.
I have posted another question related to your answer in case you want to take a look:
