Configuring connection to an external configuration database

If the Operator protocol requires using an external database that is different from the default one used in Axxon PSIM, configure the connection to such an external database as follows:

1. Go to the DB tab on the Operator protocol object settings panel (1).
   

   Note

   Parameters set at Axxon PSIM software installation are used by default to connect to the database server.
2. Set the connection parameters in one of the following ways:
   
   1. Click the Connection dialog button (2) and set parameters for connecting to an external database using the standard dialog box; see Configuring the database server connection in a dialog mode.
   2. Set connection parameters manually:
      

      1. In the Server field (3), enter the name of the database server to connect to.

         Note

         When working in the distributed configuration, it is necessary to enter the name of the computer without the (local) value where the database is stored. For example, "WS1\SQLEXPRESS", where WS1 is the name of the computer on which the database is stored.

         Connection is performed only to the one database that is specified in the settings. The data about the objects is requested from this database and matched with the sent data from the server that contains these objects. That is why you cannot display the operator protocol set to the computer with the installed vertical solution and database on the computer where they aren't present.

      2. In the Folder field (4), enter the name of the database to store events.
      3. In the User field (5), enter the username for the authorization on the database server.
      4. In the Password field (6), enter the password for the authorization on the database server.
3. Click the Apply button.

Configuring connection to an external configuration database is complete.
