Before you begin

Complete the steps in:

Define basic application settings

Cross-reference tag names

The ImportExportConfig Row Edit dialog box is opened through the Import Export Config table listing in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE). For general information on ADE, refer to the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) Administrator documentation.

To define import process parameters

  1. Navigate to the ImportExportConfig Row Edit dialog box.

  2. Refer to the table below for instructions on configuring Import process parameters.

    Item

    Instruction

    Customer Name

    Enter the Customer Name exactly as it appears in the Customer Name field in the associated dataexchange record

    Dataset

    Select (...) and select the name of the dataset you want to associate with this record from the Dataset Select dialog box.

    A dataset contains privileges assigned for each system and mode. Once a record is assigned to a data set value, the dataset can only be changed to a value for which the system has a privilege record. A record’s dataset can not be changed in such a way that the system can no longer access the record.

    Operation

    Select Import.

    Folder

    Enter the path to the folder where you want to store the imported files.

    File

    Enter the name of the file to import.

    If desired, the name can include asterisk wildcard specification (for example, "*.dat").

    Frequency

    Enter the frequency (in seconds) at which the application should check for the File in the indicated Folder.

    Note: The time should be greater than the expected amount of time required for the application to perform the operation.

    Format

    Enter a format string specifying the format of the records in the imported file. Refer to File content format string definition.

    Copy To

    Enter the path to the folder where you want to copy the file (for archive purposes) before the application deletes it from the source Folder.

    First Rec Date

    Enter the format of the date string that replaces the first record of the imported file. Refer to Date format.

    Use Xref

    Select one of the following:

    • yes – before reformatting an imported file to XML, the application will cross-reference the imported tag names to the corresponding tag names in the dataexchange table (refer to Cross-reference tag names).

    • no – the application uses the tag names as received.

    Result Path

    Enter the path to the folder where the application places the XML files for loading into AVEVA Enterprise SCADA.
