Remote DB Spy (on a client)

Can you remote spy on a client?...

Hey, quick question, can we do a remote spy to a client or secure viewer? This would be nice to see local tag values that are on the client itself and not available through spying on the server.... also is would be nice for indirect tags that are dyamically built on a per client basis.

I've tried to connect the remote spy to a client IP and get promtpted for credentials..? I am not using Indusoft Security.

Unfortunatelly you cannot remote spy on a thin client.

The behavior that you described is normal since thin clients doesn't have the required tasks running to allow TCP/IP connections. If you run the DBSpy or LogWin pointing to a runtime station that doesn't have the TCP/IP server task running then you should get the same behavior.

Does this also mean I cannot use the Database Spy or the Logwin locally on a thin client to view the status of local scope tags or view errors specific to that thin client?
