Once an alarm configuration is complete in AlarmWorX Multimedia, you need to make sure that it is the active database. The database that is currently active is the one that the OPC server will use. To make the current database active, select Make Active… from the File menu of the Configurator. If the Make Active… selection is grayed out, then the current database is already the active database.
A dialog box will appear showing both the current active database and database that is currently being edited. To set the edited database as the active database, click the Yes button.
If you make changes to the database while the server is running, you can update the server with your changes while it is running. To do this, click the Update Server Data button on the toolbar.
