Creating a New Project
Database in the local station to save data temporarily if the Primary Database is not available (during a
network failure, for instance).
• Use project default checkbox: When this option is checked, IWS uses the settings configured in the Default
Database for the task that is being configured (Connection string, User name, Password, Retry Interval and
Advanced Settings). When this option is not checked, you can configure these settings individually to the
current task.
• Connection string field: This field defines the database where IWS will write and read values as well as
the main parameters used when connecting to the database. Instead of writing the Connection string
manually, you can press the browse button (…) and select the database type from the Data Link Properties
window.
Data Link Properties dialog
Note: The list of Database Providers shown in the Data Link Properties window depends on the
providers actually installed and available in the computer where you are running IWS. Consult
the operating system documentation (or the database documentation) for further information
regarding the settings of the Provider for the database that you are using.
• User name field: User name used to connect to the database. The user name configured in this field must
match the user name configured in the database.
• Password field: Password used to connect to the database. The password configured in this field must match
the password configured in the database.
• Retry Interval field: If IWS is unable to connect to the database for any reason, it retries automatically to
connect to the database after the number of seconds configured in this field have passed.
• Advanced button: After pressing this button, you have access to customize some settings. For most projects,
the default value of these settings do not need to be modified and should be kept.
