Figure 306. MySQL database properties
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status | read-only | Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.
{ok} indicates that the entity is licensed and polling successfully. {down} indicates that the last poll was unsuccessful, perhaps because of an incorrect property. {disabled} indicates that the Enable property is set to false. {fault} indicates another problem. Depending on conditions, multiple status flags may be set including {fault} and {disabled}, combined with {down}, {alarm}, {stale}, and {unackedAlarm}. |
| Enabled | true or false |
Turns the feature on (true) and off (false). |
| Fault Cause | read-only | Reports the reason why a network, component, or extension is in fault. Fault Cause is blank unless a fault exists. |
| Health | read-only | Reports the status of the network or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot network problems but it provides no direct network management controls. |
| Host Address | IP address | Defines the IP address of the computer platform where the database resides. |
| User Name | text | Defines the user name credential with which to log in to the database. |
| Password | two properties | The Password property defines a password that is used to log in to the database. The Confirm property must be an exact match to the Password property.
|
| Base Directory (MySql) or Instance Name (SqlServer) | file path |
Defines the path that points to the location of the database. A typical configuration uses a folder file space directly under the station. |
| Database Name | text | Defines the name of the database to connect to. If the database does not already exist, the system creates it when you save
the property sheet with a completed Base Directory and Database Name.
|
| Port | number | Specifies the port to use when connecting with the database.
Common default values are: Db2Database - Port 6789 HsqlDbDatabase - no port is specified because this rdb is for local database use only. MySQLDatabase - Port 3306 SqlServerDatabase - Port 1433 |
| Extra Connection Properties | semicolon list of property,value pairs in the form “property=value;...” | Properties, such as charset, define values to use when connecting to the database.
|
| Max Active Connections | number | Defines the maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. Changing this property requires a station restart. |
| Peak Active Connections | number | Defines the peak number of active connections in the pool. |
| Active Connections | number | Defines the number of current active connections in the pool. |
| Tls | true or false (default)
|
Indicates if the connection between the station and the database is secure (true) or not secure (false). To ensure that your system cannot be hacked, do not leave this property set to false. Change it to true.
