How Create Output Stream on OpenPDC Running in Linux Server

Nicolas_Pierim · August 9, 2022, 3:58pm

Hi all!

I installed the latest version of OpenPDC (v2.9.148) on a Linux Debian 9. Opening the web interface, I see that everything works, but there is no button to create an Output Stream.

I saw that in the OpenPDC files there is an executable → CreateOutputStream.exe
But when I try to open with Mono I have no success.

Could anyone help?

That screen has not been ported to the web UI yet. You will still need to use the openPDC Manager for that task - you can currently only use the manager on Windows as it is a WPF application. That said, you should be able to run the manager on Windows connected to your database on Linux - and even connect the Windows-based manager application to the running Linux-based openPDC service.

Here are some instructions - see later chapters on “Updating Configuration Using the openPDC Manager”:

Ok Ritchie,
Thanks for your instructions.

Also, for reference, you can use CreateOutputStream with a CSV to create an output stream - but there currently no instructions, just code - but you can infer needed columns from the source code:

github.com

GridProtectionAlliance/gsf/blob/master/Source/Tools/CreateOutputStream/Program.cs#L221


      
          }
          
          
string[] columns = line.Split(',');
          
          
if (columns.Length < 6)
          {
              Console.WriteLine($"Not enough columns in CSV file at row {row} - expected 6, encountered {columns.Length}, skipped row.");
              continue;
          }
          
          
// Read columns of data from current row
          string sourceDeviceName = columns[0].ToUpperInvariant().Trim();
          string destDeviceName = columns[1].ToUpperInvariant().Trim();
          string sourcePhasorName = columns[2].ToUpperInvariant().Trim();
          string destPhasorName = columns[3].ToUpperInvariant().Trim();
          ushort idCode = ushort.Parse(columns[4].Trim());
          string description = columns[5].Trim();
          
          
if (!sourceDeviceName.Equals(lastDeviceName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
          {
              lastDeviceName = sourceDeviceName;
