What Are System Errors and Events?
System errors are conditions on a system level (as opposed to a per tag
basis) that result in problematic functioning of the BridgeVIEW system.
When a system error occurs, BridgeVIEW prompts the user with a dialog
box. You can turn this dialog box on or off.
System events are changes in the system that cause a change in behavior
thatis not problematic. These include events reported by utilities such as
the Tag Configuration Editor.
