Configuring ODBC Data Exchange Reports
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 423
The following table shows the types of embedded reference which can be used
to access or write data to an PlantScape server.
Understanding the Report Output
The report output file contains the transactions with data substituted from the
PlantScape server application database. Any syntax errors are flagged with error
messages. The report file becomes a record of the data sent to the
ODBC-compliant database and the errors found in the reference file.
Troubleshooting ODBC Data Exchange Reports
If an ODBC Data Exchange report fails check the PlantScape log file for the cause
of the problem.
