Configure Database view, Database Services tab

This view displays the station’s database and network configuration settings.

Figure 340. Configure Database view, Database Services tab in a remote station

You access this view by clicking Controller (System) Setup > Miscellaneous > Configure Database.

Tabs

The Database Services tab shows the status of the currently-assigned Orion database. It contains read-only and other properties that describe the status of Database Services or configure alarming properties related to the Database Services.

An additional tab identifies the associated database. Although a Supervisor station may have more than one database, each station can have only one Orion Database at a time. The HsqDbDatabase supports only remote controller stations. The database in a Supervisor station is usually a MySQL or MS SQL database.

NOTE: The tabs appear in both Supervisor and remote (subordinate) stations but only the properties for the Supervisor database may be edited. HsqlDbDatabase properties cannot be edited.

Links

In addition to a Save, these links are available along the top of the view:

Manage Databases opens the Manage Databases window. You use this window to add, delete, rename or duplicate databases for use in your system. For each database that you add, an additional tab, representing that database configuration, displays on the view.
Set Orion Database opens the Set Orion Database window. Use this window to designate which of the configured databases (if you have more than one configured) to use for the Orion Service. A reset of the Orion Database requires a station restart.
CAUTION: Using the Set Orion Database window can result in unintentional loss of data. Be sure that you have backed up any data that you want to preserve before changing the Orion database.
Restart Station starts the current stations. This is necessary after configuring or reassigning a station database.

Property	Value	Description
Enterprise Security Service	read-only	Indicates if the service is running. It should report {Ok}.
Access Control Service	read-only	Indicates if the service is running. It should report {Ok}.
Intrusion Service	read-only	Indicates if the service is running. It should report {Ok}.
Orion Service	read-only	Indicates if the service is running. It should report {Ok}.
Orion Database	read-only	Indicates that the connection from Orion to the selected rdbms database is {Ok}, and which database Orion is connected to.
Replication Service	read-only	Indicates if the service is running. It should report {Ok}.
Replication Failure Alarm (Alarm Source Info)	read-only	Links to a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms. These properties are documented in the Alarm Setup topic of the PDF and in the help system (search for Alarm Source Info).
Replication Overrun Alarm (This alarm occurs when the deletion table record count is greater than the `Replication Overrun Limit` property value.)	read-only	Indicates that there are too many non-replicating subordinates assigned to the Supervisor database. To get rid of this alarm, make all subordinates available for replication or delete them from the Station Manager - Database view. This stops the replication process from keeping track of the station’s deleted records. You can always re-discover, add, and join the subordinate station at a later date.
Replication Overrun Limit	number; The default value is 5000.	Specifies the maximum number of records that are allowed in a deletion table. You will receive a replication overrun alarm when the deletion record count is greater than this number.
