Notes
If you intend to use multiple databases, you need to set up a data source for each
database.
Configuring the ODBC Data Exchange Report
The next step is to use the ODBC Data Exchange Report Configuration display on
Station to configure details about the report such as:
• The input reference file name
• Data source name
• Scheduling information for the report
Two displays are used to configure a report:
• Definition Display
This display is common to all reports. Details on using this display are
described in “Configuring Definition Details” on page 243.
• Content Display
Each type of report has a contents display that is specific to the type of
report you want to create. For details on configuring the contents of a report
on Station, see the following sections.
Specifying the Report Definition File Details
Input Reference File
The Input Reference file defines the actions carried out in the ODBC Data
Exchange Report. To create this file, see “Creating the Input Reference File”
on page 421.
In this field enter the full path to the Input Reference file for running the
report, or the relative path from the server run folder.
Record Number Offset
Enter a record number offset to be added to the absolute value of any
negative record numbers used in references to PlantScape server database
files in the input file. This is optional and the default is zero.
