Ships the composition kernel that maps Config DB rows (Script / VirtualTag /
ScriptedAlarm) to the runtime definitions VirtualTagEngine + ScriptedAlarmEngine
consume, builds the engine instances, and wires OnEvent → historian-sink routing.
## src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Server/Phase7/
- CachedTagUpstreamSource — implements both Core.VirtualTags.ITagUpstreamSource and
Core.ScriptedAlarms.ITagUpstreamSource (identical shape, distinct namespaces) on one
concrete type so the composer can hand one instance to both engines. Thread-safe
ConcurrentDictionary value cache with synchronous ReadTag + fire-on-write
Push(path, snapshot) that fans out to every observer registered via SubscribeTag.
Unknown-path reads return a BadNodeIdUnknown-quality snapshot (status 0x80340000)
so scripts branch on quality naturally.
- Phase7EngineComposer.Compose(scripts, virtualTags, scriptedAlarms, upstream,
alarmStateStore, historianSink, rootScriptLogger, loggerFactory) — single static
entry point that:
* Indexes scripts by ScriptId, resolves VirtualTag.ScriptId + ScriptedAlarm.PredicateScriptId
to full SourceCode
* Projects DB rows to VirtualTagDefinition + ScriptedAlarmDefinition (mapping
DataType string → DriverDataType enum, AlarmType string → AlarmKind enum,
Severity 1..1000 → AlarmSeverity bucket matching the OPC UA Part 9 bands
that AbCipAlarmProjection + OpcUaClient MapSeverity already use)
* Constructs VirtualTagEngine + loads definitions (throws InvalidOperationException
with the list of scripts that failed to compile — aggregated like Streams B+C)
* Constructs ScriptedAlarmEngine + loads definitions + wires OnEvent →
IAlarmHistorianSink.EnqueueAsync using ScriptedAlarmEvent.Emission as the event
kind + Condition.LastAckUser/LastAckComment for audit fields
* Returns Phase7ComposedSources with Disposables list the caller owns
Empty Phase 7 config returns Phase7ComposedSources.Empty so deployments without
scripts / alarms behave exactly as pre-Phase-7. Non-null sources flow into
OpcUaApplicationHost's virtualReadable / scriptedAlarmReadable plumbing landed by
task #239 — DriverNodeManager then dispatches reads by NodeSourceKind per PR #186.
## Tests — 12/12
CachedTagUpstreamSourceTests (6):
- Unknown-path read returns BadNodeIdUnknown-quality snapshot
- Push-then-Read returns cached value
- Push fans out to subscribers in registration order
- Push to one path doesn't fire another path's observer
- Dispose of subscription handle stops fan-out
- Satisfies both Core.VirtualTags + Core.ScriptedAlarms ITagUpstreamSource interfaces
Phase7EngineComposerTests (6):
- Empty rows → Phase7ComposedSources.Empty (both sources null)
- VirtualTag rows → VirtualReadable non-null + Disposables populated
- Missing script reference throws InvalidOperationException with the missing ScriptId
in the message
- Disabled VirtualTag row skipped by projection
- TimerIntervalMs → TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds round-trip
- Severity 1..1000 maps to Low/Medium/High/Critical at 250/500/750 boundaries
(matches AbCipAlarmProjection + OpcUaClient.MapSeverity banding)
## Scope — what this PR does NOT do
The composition kernel is the tricky part; the remaining wiring is three narrower
follow-ups that each build on this PR:
- task #244 — driver-bridge feed that populates CachedTagUpstreamSource from live
driver subscriptions. Without this, ctx.GetTag returns BadNodeIdUnknown even when
the driver has a fresh value.
- task #245 — ScriptedAlarmReadable adapter exposing each alarm's current Active
state as IReadable. Phase7EngineComposer.Compose currently returns
ScriptedAlarmReadable=null so reads on Source=ScriptedAlarm variables return
BadNotFound per the ADR-002 "misconfiguration not silent fallback" signal.
- task #246 — Program.cs call to Phase7EngineComposer.Compose with config rows
loaded from the sealed-cache DB read, plus SqliteStoreAndForwardSink lifecycle
wiring at %ProgramData%/OtOpcUa/alarm-historian-queue.db with the Galaxy.Host
IPC writer from Stream D.
Task #240 (live OPC UA E2E smoke) depends on all three follow-ups landing.
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.

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
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.
Install as Windows Service
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
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)
