EVOLUTION
This hotfix has been introduced with improvements for the alarm synchronization in
redundant server.
This hotfix resolves runtime alarm state on the standby server is not in synchronization with
primary alarm server after the standby server is restarted in Struxureware SCADA Expert
Vijeo Citect 7.40
When the standby runtime is started there is no alarm state sync from the scada db to
runtime, therefore until a new alarm event updates the state of an alarm, the alarm state in
runtime will be inconsistent with the scada database and thus alarm state will be out of sync.
