dbmanager setup

Setting up the DBManager is comprised of determining what files need to be sent between the computer and DMS

and LCR 600 units in the network, where those files should be sent, and when they should be sent.
All settings required for setup are accessed through the DBManager Setup window. After setup is complete, the Setup

DBManager window will only be opened on rare occasions such as: adding a node for a new DMS or LCR 600 in the

network, registering a new application’s master database, or changing your “check file” schedule.

There are four main steps required to setup the dbmanager:

Register File Server Nodes

Identify the DMS and LCR 600 units in the fueling system network.

Register Application

Locate and identify master database files on the computer and the database files on the DMS and LCR 600 units in the network.

Set Master File List

Select the database files for transmission and schedule the checks of the “live files” to find modified files.

Set Node List

Select which DMS and LCR 600 units (identified by node numbers) will receive each file.

This value must match the Number of File Handles: in the Setup

LCP File Server (1/3) window of each DMS unit in the network.

The default vale is 1.

dbm node address

The node address assigned to DBManager on the server. This

node address is used by the DMS and LCR 600 to connect with

DBManager on the server.

display file server requests

If checked, the DBManager window will display the description and

time of the each transmission coming into and out of the server.

save screen location on exit

Saves the location of the DBManager window when the window

is closed and reopens the window in the same location. If

unchecked, the DBManager window will open in the middle of your

primary display screen.

maximum # of entries shown in window (10-1000) (log

window)

The number of data transmissions available in the DBManager

window.

save log to file (log window)

Creates a log file of all DBManager data transmissions while the

box is checked. This is useful for troubleshooting network issues.

If unchecked, data transmissions are not recorded. If a log is not

needed, leave box unchecked to avoid an enormous log file.

set file (log window)

Opens a window to set a file path location and save the log file.

Value must match the Office Node Address: in

System Utilities (2/3) of each DMS unit in the

network and the DBM Node Address: in System Setup
