Joseph Doherty 32f26272ae Initial commit: Wonderware / System Platform tools and reference
Five tools under one repo, all docs organized per DOCS-GUIDE.md:

- aalogcli: .NET 4.8 / x86 CliFx CLI for reading System Platform binary
  logs (*.aaLGX) for LLM debugging, built on aaOpenSource/aaLog. Commands:
  last, tail, range, unread, fields. Stable JSON envelope under --llm-json.
  Build template under lib/build/ for rebuilding aaLogReader.dll.

- aot: ArchestrA Object Toolkit 2014 v4.0 reference material. Dev guide
  (Markdown converted from CHM), API reference for the ArchestrA.Toolkit
  namespace, and the Monitor / Watchdog VS sample solutions.

- graccesscli: .NET 4.8 / x86 CliFx CLI that automates Galaxy
  configuration via the ArchestrA GRAccess COM interop. Includes session
  daemon, IPC protocol, and llm-json envelope contract.

- grdb: SQL/DDL exploration of the Galaxy Repository database. DDL
  captures, reusable queries, hierarchy / contained-name <-> tag-name
  translation notes.

- histdb: LLM-oriented reference for AVEVA Historian retrieval. INSQL
  linked-server, extension tables, every wwXxx time-domain extension,
  every retrieval mode, alarm/event SQL recipes, REST API. Distilled
  from the 243-page Historian Retrieval Guide.

Root contains:
- CLAUDE.md: thin index pointing into each tool's README.
- DOCS-GUIDE.md: doctrine for organizing docs for LLM consumption.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Purpose
The goal of this project is to identify and develop SQL queries that extract the Galaxy object hierarchy from the **System Platform Galaxy Repository** database in order to build a tag structure for an OPC UA server.
Specifically, we need to:
- Build the hierarchy of **areas** and **automation objects** (using contained names for human-readable browsing)
- Translate contained names to **tag_names** for read/write operations (e.g., `TestMachine_001.DelmiaReceiver` in the hierarchy becomes `DelmiaReceiver_001` when addressing tag values)
See `layout.md` for details on the hierarchy vs tag name relationship.
## Key Files
### Documentation
- `connectioninfo.md` — Database connection details and sqlcmd usage
- `layout.md` — Galaxy object hierarchy, contained_name vs tag_name translation, and target OPC UA structure
- `build_layout_plan.md` — Step-by-step plan for extracting hierarchy, attaching attributes, and monitoring for changes
- `data_type_mapping.md` — Galaxy mx_data_type to OPC UA DataType mapping, including array handling (ValueRank, ArrayDimensions)
### Queries
- `queries/hierarchy.sql` — Deployed object hierarchy with browse names and parent relationships
- `queries/attributes.sql` — User-defined (dynamic) attributes with data types and array dimensions
- `queries/attributes_extended.sql` — All attributes (system + user-defined) with data types and array dimensions
- `queries/change_detection.sql` — Poll `galaxy.time_of_last_deploy` to detect deployment changes
### Schema Reference
- `schema.md` — Full schema reference for all tables and views in the ZB database
- `ddl/tables/` — Individual CREATE TABLE definitions
- `ddl/views/` — Individual view definitions
## Working with the Galaxy Repository Database
The Galaxy Repository is the backing SQL Server database for Wonderware/AVEVA System Platform (Galaxy: ZB, localhost, Windows Auth). Key tables used by the queries:
- **gobject** — Object instances, hierarchy (contained_by_gobject_id, area_gobject_id), deployment state (deployed_package_id)
- **template_definition** — Object type categories (category_id distinguishes areas, engines, user-defined objects, etc.)
- **dynamic_attribute** — User-defined attributes on templates, inherited by instances via derived_from_gobject_id chain
- **attribute_definition** — System/primitive attributes
- **primitive_instance** — Links objects to their primitive components and attribute definitions
- **galaxy** — Single-row table with time_of_last_deploy for change detection
Use `sqlcmd -S localhost -d ZB -E -Q "..."` to run queries. See `connectioninfo.md` for details.
## Conventions
- Store all connection parameters in `connectioninfo.md`, not scattered across scripts.
- Keep SQL query examples and extraction notes as Markdown files in this repo.
- If scripts are added (Python, PowerShell, etc.), document their usage and dependencies alongside them.
