Below the summary grid is another small grid that shows the summary process information. This information displays the status of the last execution of the process including the start time, finish time and any error that might have occurred. While the gap detection process may run on a schedule (see Report Services), if not set to run automatically or if otherwise needed before the scheduled run, the process can be invoked manually at the bottom of the Archive Management tab using the "Invoke Gap Detection Process" button.
...
Selecting this option will open a new window to display the archive records for the selected meter run. All available records for the given time range will be displayed. Any missing records will be shown in timestamp sequence for which they belong. Missing records are displayed with yellow background.
The history details data grid has an additional feature not present in the summary data grid. It uses a master-detail relationship to hold content in a different format and with more data. The default view displays all the fields of an archive record. By expanding the detail row of the record, it is possible to view more information regarding tokens, field identifiers, raw values and translated values. This additional detail can be useful for reviewing all information pertaining to an archive record but is also helpful for the AutoSol Support team when assisting with troubleshooting issues of history collection. Translated values are more commonly associated with meter characteristic records.
It is possible to change the date range of the displayed records by using the date-time pickers. Make changes to the From date-time and the To date-time and click Refresh to reload the data for the chosen range.
...
Checking the ‘Missing Records Only’ checkbox will filter the records to show only those that are missing. This is especially useful when there may be multiple missing records that are scattered throughout the range.
