TIP

If you have chosen the installation on two computers, perform the
following steps on the RSBizWare server computer.

FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configurations connect any
control system from which data will be collected to the predefined

data model used by the RSBizWare database to store production
data. The configurations consist of transactions and the connectors,
data points, and data objects required to implement the transactions.

A transaction is a single exchange of data between the industrial
control system - typically a network of programmable logic
controllers (PLCs) - and a database. An example of a transaction is a
temperature value that is collected from a data point on a
programmable logic controller and logged to a database table.

A data point is a specific data location or register in the control
system that is made available to FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
transactions. After it is defined, a data point can be used by any
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager transaction.
