Title
How can I run the Power Quality Event Aggregator in archive mode so I can run a Power Quality report on pre-existing data?

Issue
Meter Power Quality Events do not show up in Power Quality Report.

Product Line
ION Enterprise 6.0

Environment
Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-Bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit), Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows Server 2008 (64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)

Cause
The PQ Aggregator aggregates power quality data from the waveform log, event log and certain quantities from the datalog/datalogstamp tables and inserts it into the PQ_ group of tables in ION_Data. The ION Power Quality Aggregation service performs this task going forward, but if a user wishes to run a Power Quality report against pre-existing data, or data contained in archived databases, the PQ Aggregator must be run in archive mode.

Resolution
1. Start a command prompt in the ION Enterprise\system\bin directory
2. Run EventCollector.Cli.exe /a

Running this command will aggregate all data in ION_Data and any archive that is called ION_Data_Archive. If an archived database is not called something that starts with ION_Data_Archive, PQ data in this database will not be archived. It is necessary to detach the archive, and then reattach it as ION_Data_Archive, where means any subsequent characters.

Important: Note that this utility must be run from the ION Enterprise\system\bin directory for it to run correctly. Also be aware that on a large database that contains a lot of Power Quality data, this utility could run for some time. It will not interfere with ION Enterprise while it is running.
