7.1 Essential details
To interpret the data files it is supposed to import, the OpenScape Alarm Response Profession-
al needs a configuration file (INI file).
The syntax and structure of this configuration file is described below.
7.2 The syntax of INI files
● INI files serve to store:
– the names of the files, incl. the path details of their corresponding source files
*)
– the definitions governing the way in which these source files are structured
– the definitions governing the unconditional (absolute) as well as the variable fields and
their order
– the separators used in between the individual entries
– the reference names (names of databases and tables) of the OScAR-Pro-TT database
– and, if needed, the omission of specific tables (y/n)
*)
These parameters can easily be adjusted via the INI Editor.
Save your changes in the INI Editor to have them automatically written in the INI file.
● Analog to other Windows INI files, the INI file described here consists of the following parts:
The file name, placed in box or square brackets (e.g.
[General]
).
● Within the different sections, all entries are introduced with trigger words that are followed
by an equal sign (“=“), (e.g. “Outputs=1“).
