DataValue

New values to be inserted, replaced or removed. Such as Annotation data for Annotations.

Structured History Data provides metadata describing an entry in the history database. The Server shall define what uniqueness means for each Structured History Data structure type. For example, a Server may only allow one Annotation per timestamp which means the timestamp is the unique key for the structure. Another Server may allow Annotations to exist per user, so a combination of a username and timestamp may be used as the unique key for the structure. In 6.8.3.3, 6.8.3.4, 6.8.3.5, and 6.8.3.6 the terms ‘Structured History Data exists’ and ‘at the specified parameters’ means a matching entry has been found at the specified timestamp using the Server’s criteria for uniqueness.

In the case where the Client wishes to replace a parameter that is part of the uniqueness criteria, then the resulting StatusCode would be Bad_NoEntryExists. The Client shall remove the existing structure and then Insert the new structure.

Setting performInsertReplace = INSERT_1 inserts Structured History Data such as Annotations into the history database at the specified parameters for one or more Properties of HistoricalDataNodes.

If a Structured History Data entry already exists at the specified parameters the StatusCode shall indicate Bad_EntryExists.

If the Time does not fall within range that can be stored then the related operationResults entry shall indicate Bad_OutOfRange.

Setting performInsertReplace = REPLACE_2 replaces Structured History Data such as Annotations in the history database at the specified parameters for one or more Properties of HistoricalDataNodes.

If a Structured History Data entry does not already exist at the specified parameters, then the StatusCode shall indicate Bad_NoEntryExists.

Setting performInsertReplace = UPDATE_3 inserts or replaces Structured History Data such as Annotations in the history database at the specified parameters for one or more Properties of HistoricalDataNodes.

If a Structure History Data entry already exists at the specified parameters then it is deleted and the value provided by the Client is inserted. If no existing entry exists then the new entry is inserted.

If an existing entry was replaced successfully then the StatusCode shall be Good_EntryReplaced. If a new entry was created the StatusCode shall be Good_EntryInserted. If the Server cannot determine whether it replaced or inserted an entry then the StatusCode shall be Good.

If the Time does not fall within range that can be stored then the related operationResults entry shall indicate Bad_OutOfRange.

Setting performInsertReplace = REMOVE_4 removes Structured History Data such as Annotations from the history database at the specified parameters for one or more Properties of HistoricalDataNodes.

If a Structure History Data entry exists at the specified parameters it is deleted. If Structured History Data does not already exist at the specified parameters, then the StatusCode shall indicate Bad_NoEntryExists.
