dbi file preparation

A dbi file is prepared using the ddi.exe utility. Details on how to handle it can be found in the The ddi.exe utility for editing database templates and external settings files section of Administrator's Guide.

 A dbi file for objects of CUSTOM and CUSTOM_CHILD type is created as follows:

1. Run dbi.exe (see The ddi.exe utility for editing database templates and external settings files).
2. Go to the DBI tab.

3. Create two objects – OBJ_CUSTOM and OBJ_CUSTOM_CHILD – as shown in the figure below.

   Important!

   Object (table) names should look like OBJ_<object type>.

   

   Note.

   Id, name, parent_id, flags and guid parameters are mandatory for all objects. Custom_param1 and custom_param2 are user parameters.
4. Save changes using the Save command in the File menu. The saved file must have dbi extension and must be located in Axxon PSIM installation directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\PSIM.custom.dbi.

The dbi file preparation is complete.
