We have many (20-30) interface nodes that have 20+ interfaces running on them and all of the nodes are being replaced with new hardware so we are going to need to transfer all of the interfaces.
Is there a fast way to get all of the interfaces loaded into the ICU? Currently adding a new interface through the ICU forces a reload of all of the interfaces on the current node. This means that as the number of interfaces increases so does the load time per interface to be added. I believe that this is due to the ICU walking the Module Database for registered interfaces. Is this correct and if so can we script the creation of the proper module database elements?
Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions
Yes you can, you need to script the MDB PI Modules with all the Properties required for the version of the interface, scan classes, Point Sources etc and then create the corresponding .bat files for on the Interface node itself. I've done it in PowerShell before. PowerShell an option for you?
