1 BCL and RDT programs run but do not affect process or write data to the database.
2 Trend data is copied from the primary to all non-primary supervisory stations.
3 When the primary is an operator station, no report output files are created and no trend files are written.
The only item to be archived is the daily log file. Archiving is less useful in this situation, but
is completely effective.
4 It is more efficient to receive tag data at the station with the primary or sysadmin role.
