Modal Dialog Box: "Do you want to continue" When Sequence event time has passed

Sequence Generator Sequencing

Hi
I run my system remotely, and will often have two or more events in a sequence. For that reason I will have start times and stop times for each event. Since I run remotely, there are occasions where the system receives an “unsafe” condition (i.e. roof closed). SGP does its thing and waits until the unsafe condition becomes safe, then starts up as it should. No problems there.

The problem happens if the end time for one of the events has passed when SGP starts back up - it puts up a modal dialog box saying something like “event time has passed do you want to continue”, which of course I do because there is another event in the sequence. Since this is a remote facility and I am sound asleep I don’t see this until morning, when it is too late.

Is there an option to override this dialog with an always "yes’ answer? I tried researching this here in the forums and it looks like this may have been submitted as a feature request in 2015.

Regards, Frank

This should be disabled when the Restart sequence when conditions are safe option is enabled in Tools>>Sequence Options (which it sounds like it is).

I’ll double check that.

When a sequence is running, there should never be a dialog that does not answer itself within some time period so I’ll see if I can track that one down. At the moment, I can’t find the one you refer to. I do see a notification Recovery has detected that target end time has passed, aborting..., but no dialog that asks a question of the user.

Do you have logs that show this? They would go a long way in tracking the issue here. The way it is designed to work is as follows:

  • Sequence fails and enters recovery
  • Target end time passes
  • Recovery quits, but does not fail
  • Sequence continues (i.e. starts centering on next target)

No user interactions and anything else… At the moment, it’s not clear to me where your recovery deviated from this.

Further guidance on sharing logs is here (SGPro keeps logs for 30 days):

Hi Jared
Yes I have that box checked.

Hi Ken
Thank you - I posted the issue properly from within SGPro. Though it did not give me this issue in the pulldown menu so I had to enter it as new, meaning you could probably close this one.

I hope I got the right log selected - the approximate start time for all this is 01:47am on 8/30.

Thanks!
Frank
