Alarm Summary Export

Would anyone know if it is possible to change where the alarm summary is exported to? The default path when using the export alarm summary to XML tool is D:\DeltaV\DVData\AlmSummary_export I would like to change this path if possible.

Thank you in advance.

  Unfortunately, no such option at this point.
  
  Note that you can script this export by using AlarmSummaryUtility.exe and them move the file afterwards.
  
  AlarmSummaryUtility 10 TP=1;PT=4,15;DT=11,15 2 16,2,10,14,3 1 0 "W h:m:s:F:p" /export /silent
  move C:\DeltaV\DVData\AlmSummary_export\*.xml c:\tmp

  Lun is there a way I could find out what all the numbers mean. I have an alarm summary on my operator workstations for bypasses the goal is to export that summary.

  If you open cmd.exe and type AlarmSummaryUtility.exe it should give you the options.

  Just a quick check, clicking on Export Alarm Summary to XML uses the following:
  
  AlarmSummaryUtility.exe 10 TP=1;AB 1 1,18,20,2,6,10,23,3,14 1 1 "W h:m:s" /export

  While on the topic, is there any way to filter what you want to export in the alarm summary? A lot of the columns are not of interest to me. The filters that exist are generic like Process Alarm. I would like to pick the exact columns that I want to export/import.

  Alarm Summary (e.g., AlarmList) can be configured offline (DeltaV Operate Configure mode), user can add/remove colums. The expport functionality exports columns as configured for that control in DeltaV Operate.
  
  Now the command line parameters change accordingly if you change columns. The easiest for me to figure this out is to use Process Explorer, for example I changed my alarm list to only show the first 4 columns and the command line changed to:
  
  AlarmSummaryUtility.exe 10 TP=1;AB 1 1,18,20,2 1 1 "W h:m:s" /export
  
  But really, the columns fields are specified in the 4th argument - 1,18,20,2
  
  AlarmSummaryUtility /? shows the option, so
  1 - alarm state (1=ACT/ACK, 2=INACT/UNACK, 3=ACT/UNACK
  18 - time of occurrence (hh:mm:ss)
  20 - unit name
  2 - alarm Id string (<moduleName>/<alarmParameterName>)
