  (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.

# Welcome
Archestra Galaxy configuration is exposed to .NET and COM clients through a programmable object model called GRAccess. You can use the GRAccess object model to write programs that automate configuration of local and remote Galaxies.
This documentation assumes you know how to use Microsoft Windows, including navigating menus, moving from application to application, and moving objects on the screen. If you need help with these tasks, see the Microsoft Help.
You can view this document online or you can print it, in part or whole, by using the print feature in Adobe Reader.

# About GRAccess Toolkit
You can use the Wonderware® GRAccess object model to write programs that automate configuration of local and remote Galaxies.
GRAccess requires a license. Contact your local Wonderware Distributor for purchase information.
## Target Clients
C# is the recommended programming language for GRAccess. GRAccess also works with other COM or .NET programming languages such as VB6, C++, and VB.NET.
GRAccess provides a .NET primary interop assembly for use in Microsoft .NET languages, and a COM type library that can be used in VB6 or other COM clients.

# GRAccess Object Model
GRAccess provides a hierarchical object model. At the root of this object model is the GRAccessAppClass. The GRAccessAppClass provides access to other Archestra objects including Galaxies, gObject Templates and Instances.
Typically, only the GRAccessAppClass and the MxValue objects are created directly. Other objects are obtained by navigating the GRAccessAppClass object object model.

# API Reference
You can use the GRAccess API to write programs that manipulate the configurations of local and remote Galaxies.
## COM Classes
This section describes the COM classes that are defined and exposed through GRAccess. These include:
* GRAccess
* GRAccessApp
* MxValue
## GRAccess
GRAccess is similar to GRAccessApp but is cocreated in-process to the client. Restrictions include:
* EXE program hosting the component must reside in the AppServer Bin folder.
* Single-stepping over **GRAccess** method calls with the Visual Basic 6.0 debugger may cause execution to run-away and not stop at the next line.

```
[Visual C++]
```cpp
HRESULT UsersAvailable(
[out, retval] IGalaxyUsers** users
);
```
**Parameters**
users
The collection of users configured for this Galaxy.
# LoginTime Property
Retrieves the configured login time.
**Class**
IGalaxySecurity
**Syntax**
[C#]
```csharp

**Parameters**
LoginTime
The timeout period during which the system validates the user's membership against the OS groups selected as ArchestrA roles.
Minimum value is 0 (zero), maximum is 9,999,999. Default value is 0 (zero), which turns off this feature so the operation does not time out. Specify a value based on the speed of your network and the number of groups configured in ArchestrA roles. The slower the network or the larger the number of groups, the greater the value.

# RoleUpdateInterval Property
Retrieves role update interval time.
**Class**
IGalaxySecurity
**Syntax**
[C#]
```csharp
string RoleUpdateInterval { get; };
```
[Visual C++]
```cpp
HRESULT RoleUpdateInterval(
[out, retval] BSTR* roleUpdateInterval
);
```
**Parameters**
**RoleUpdateInterval**
The time between each validation attempt per OS group for the user's membership when a logon is attempted. The user membership update is done one role per Role Update interval to minimize network usage. The minimum allowed value is 0 (zero) and the maximum is 9,999,999. The default value is 0 (zero), which turns off this feature so the operation does not pause between validating user membership and groups. This option operates independently of the Login Time option. Even if Login Time times out, the role update operation continues in the background and eventually updates user-to-role relationships for this user in the local cache.
# IGalaxyUser
Provides user information: user name, full name, and associated role list.
If you are using OS group authentication mode, you can not configure Galaxy users. During login from client utilities, user information is updated in the Galaxy, which can then be obtained using the IGalaxyUser interface.
The FullName property is only valid when a user is an OS (domain or local) user.

# PutElement Method
Puts an element into an array held by an MxValue. Call this method consecutively to populate an MxValue with an array of one dimension. The first call on this method will establish the MxDataType for the array. Subsequent calls to this method must supply MxValues of the same MxDataType.
**Note:** A array's dimension cannot be reduced. Therefore it is not a good idea to cache an MxValue. The array should be destroyed and recreated if its dimension needs to be reduced. Array elements must be written sequentially when initializing array values.
## Syntax
[C#]
```csharp
void PutElement (
int index,
MxValue pMxValue
);
```
[Visual C++]
```cpp
HRESULT PutElement (
[in] long index,
[in] IMxValue *pMxValue
);
```
## Parameters
* **index**
Index into the array. Must be between 1 and 2147483647 inclusive.
* **pMxValue**
The value to be put as an array element.
## Returns
* MX_E_InvalidIndex - Index is out of range.
* MX_E_IndexOutOfOrder - Index is not sequential.
* MX_E_WrongDataType - A prior call to PutElement supplied an MxValue of a different data type.

# IPermission
Provides read-only access to the properties of a single permission, including name, parent name, whether the permission is configured, if it has any children permissions, collection children permissions, whether it is a security group (root nodes in operation permission are). If the permission is a security group, IPermission can access the security group object.
Each role has two collections of permissions, a collection of general permissions and a collection of operational permissions, from which the client program can drill down to each sub-permission.
For example, for a role configured with the options shown in the sample **Options** dialog box, IPermission returns the following:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Operation</th>
<th>What it returns</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PermissionName</td>
<td>General Permission</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PermissionParentName</td>
<td>Empty string</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IsConfigured</td>
<td>Returns VARIANT_TRUE, or VARIANT_FALSE if any of its permission in the tree is configured</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>HasChildren</td>
<td>Returns VARIANT_TRUE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ChildPermissions</td>
<td>Returns the collection of IPermissions, which in this case is IDE Permissions and SMC Permissions</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IsASecurityGroup</td>
<td>Returns VARIANT_FALSE. For "Operational Permissions" children, this property is VARIANT_TRUE.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SecurityGroup</td>
<td>Returns the ISecurityGroup object interface through which the user can access security group related properties. This property is valid for Operational Permission children. In other cases, this returns a NULL pointer.</td>

# GRAccess Code Examples
This section provides examples related to performance and other best practices.
# Programming Tips
Follow these programming tips:
* GRAccessApp m_gr = new GRAccessApp(). m_gr object must be active when you want to use any of GRAccess Objects. This means that it should not go out of scope from your code path.
* CommandResult and CommandResults are error checking methods like GetLastError in C++ and The Err Object in VB. After each GRAccess object API call, you can check that the API succeeded or not. APIs that deal with multiple objects return CommandResults.
* If you are using GRAccess from a remote machine, make sure you have run the OSConfigUtility.
* If you are running GRAccess on a 64-bit system, you must modify the import statement in stdafx.h to include (x86) in the file path, as shown in the following example:
```c
#import "C:\Program Files
(x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\ArchestrA.GRAccess.dll"
no_namespace, raw_interfaces_only
```
The import path may vary depending on variables such as the InTouch installation directory. Modify the import statement in stdafx.h to import from the correct library path, as shown in the following example:
```c
#import "C:\Program
Files\Wonderware\InTouch\AppServerSecurity.dll"
no_namespace, raw_interfaces_only
```

# Example for Creating and Populating a Galaxy
The steps below demonstrate how to use GRAccess through C# and Visual Studio.
This procedure creates an Archestra Galaxy and populates it with a single instance.
Build and execute the program below. It creates a Galaxy called "Example1" and a single instance of a $UserDefined template with a name based on the current date and time.
**Note:** The C# console application should work with ATL support.
1. Using Visual Studio, create a new C# console application "CreateGalaxyExample".
2. On the **Main** menu, click **Project / Add Reference** and add a reference to the GRAccess primary interop assembly. By default, this is in
```
C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\Archestra.GRAccess\1.7.0.0_23106a86e706d0ae\Archestra.GRAccess.dll.
```
3. Replace the contents of the generated C# source file with the following text:
**Note:** This code can be found in \Samples\CreateGalaxyCSharp.
```
