Log to an ODBC database

The option of logging FactoryTalk Diagnostics messages to an ODBC database is
available for personal computers only.

ODBC logging works by periodically exporting the contents of the local log file to an
ODBC-compliant database. FactoryTalk View supports these ODBC-compliant
databases:

Microsoft Access

Sybase SQL Server

Oracle

Microsoft SQL Server

If you have set up FactoryTalk Diagnostics to overwrite events in the local log file, make
sure messages are logged to the ODBC-compliant database before the oldest events are
deleted.

For information about the contents of the FactoryTalk Diagnostics ODBC tables, see
Appendix D.

Set up message buffering

FactoryTalk Diagnostics messages are stored in the computer’s local log file, and are
exported to the ODBC-compliant database at the interval you specify.
