Configuring data collection Chapter 10
Item Description
Microsoft OLE DB The Microsoft OLE DB enterprise database connector should only be
used for interfacing with Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft OLE DB
allows you to browse an SQL Server database without a data source
name (DSN) and is the preferred method of connection.
Microsoft COM+ The Microsoft COM+ enterprise application connector allows you to
interface with Microsoft COM+ application components. These
components must be integrated into a Windows 2000 COM+
environment. RSBizWare-only applications do not support this
connector. It is for use only with FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
Professional installations.
FactoryTalk
Metrics
The FactoryTalk Metrics enterprise application connector is used
only with FactoryTalk Metrics. The connector stores data in the
RSBizWare database.
SAP The SAP enterprise application connector allows you to interface
with SAP R/3 system modules. RSBizWare-only applications do not
support this connector. It is for use only with FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager Professional installations.
Time-series Data
Compression
This connector stores time-series data in a pre-defined compressed
format in either an Oracle database or a Microsoft SQL Server
database. The compressed data point records contain binary data
that can only be viewed through FactoryTalk Historian Classic. For a
detailed description of data compression and the Compression
connector, see "Data Compression (page 269)".
If you no longer want users to be able to use a FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager configuration for future data collection within
the RSBizWare software, you will need to unregister the
configuration. Unregistering a configuration will disassociate the
configuration from FactoryTalk Metrics and/or FactoryTalk
Historian Classic. Unregistering the configuration will not delete
the configuration. The configuration will remain a valid
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configuration and can still be
used within the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager software.
NOTE
You cannot unregister FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configurations
that are being used in the FactoryTalk Metrics Performance Parameters
for an enabled activity area.
