DBI file preparation

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

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

1. Run the dbi.exe utility (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.

   Attention!

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

   

4. Set the parameters for each object. The id, name, parent_id, flags, guid parameters are mandatory for all objects. Custom_param1, custom_param2 in the example in the figure are custom parameters. You can also set other parameters used in Axxon PSIM. For example, adding the region_id parameter will allow you to set areas and regions for an object (see Subdivision of the protected facility into areas and regions).
5. Save the changes using the Save command in the File menu. The saved file must have the dbi extension and must be located in Axxon PSIM installation directory, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Axxon PSIM\PSIM.custom.dbi.

DBI file preparation is complete.
