Joseph Doherty 9b42b61eb6 Extract historian into a runtime-loaded plugin so hosts without the Wonderware SDK can run with Historian.Enabled=false
The aahClientManaged SDK is now isolated in ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Historian.Aveva and loaded via HistorianPluginLoader from a Historian/ subfolder only when enabled, removing the SDK from Host's compile-time and deploy-time surface.

# LmxOpcUa
OPC UA server and cross-platform client tools for AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy. The server exposes Galaxy tags via MXAccess as an OPC UA address space. The client stack provides a shared library, CLI tool, and Avalonia desktop application for browsing, reading/writing, subscriptions, alarms, and historical data.
## Architecture

## Server
The OPC UA server runs on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) and bridges the Galaxy runtime to OPC UA clients.
### Server Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (`LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer`)
- Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
- Windows (required for COM interop and MXAccess)
### Build and Run Server
```bash
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
```
The server starts on `opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa` with the `None` security profile by default. Configure `Security.Profiles` in `appsettings.json` to enable `Basic256Sha256-Sign` or `Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt` for transport security. See [Security Guide](docs/security.md).
### Install as Windows Service
```bash
cd src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/bin/Debug/net48
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe start
```
**Service logon requirement:** The service must run under a Windows account that has access to the AVEVA Galaxy and Historian. The default `LocalSystem` account can connect to MXAccess and SQL Server but **cannot authenticate with the Historian SDK** (HCAP). Configure the service to "Log on as" a domain or local user that is a recognized ArchestrA platform user. This can be set in `services.msc` or during install with `ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install -username DOMAIN\user -password ***`.
### Run Server Tests
```bash
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.IntegrationTests
```
---
## Client Stack
The client stack is cross-platform (.NET 10) and consists of three projects sharing a common `IOpcUaClientService` abstraction. No AVEVA software or COM is required — the clients connect to any OPC UA server.
### Client Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- No platform-specific dependencies (runs on Windows, macOS, Linux)
### Build All Clients
```bash
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.Shared
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI
```
### Run Client Tests
```bash
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.Shared.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI.Tests
```
### Client CLI
```bash
# Connect
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- connect -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa
# Browse Galaxy hierarchy
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- browse -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=ZB" -r -d 5
# Read a tag
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=TestMachine_001.MachineID"
# Write a tag
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- write -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=TestChildObject.TestString" -v "Hello"
# Subscribe to changes
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- subscribe -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=TestChildObject.TestInt" -i 500
# Read historical data
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- historyread -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=TestMachine_001.TestHistoryValue" --start "2026-03-25" --end "2026-03-30"
# Subscribe to alarm events
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- alarms -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa -n "ns=3;s=TestMachine_001" --refresh
# Query redundancy state
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI -- redundancy -u opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa
```
### Client UI
```bash
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI
```
The desktop application provides browse tree, subscriptions, alarm monitoring, history reads, and write dialogs. See [Client UI Documentation](docs/Client.UI.md) for details.
