Configuring a database connection

In order to visualize data from databases or signals from DAT files on a dashboard, first establish the database connection.

1. Tap <Datasource Management> in the administration menu.

   
   
   
   
   

   If connections to databases already exist, these are displayed with the selected tables in the left-hand window area. You can use the search field to search for an existing database connection.

2. To add a new database connection, tap <Add> – <Add Database>.

   
   
   
   
   

   A new database connection is added in the left-hand pane.

3. Enter a Name for the database connection.

4. Select a database type from the drop-down list and enter the connection information for your database.

   The following database types are available:

   • Microsoft SQL Server

   • MySQL/MariaDB

   • SQLite

   • PostgreSQL

   • Oracle Database

   Examples for the different database types and the database-specific connection parameters can be found in chapter Examples for database connections.

5. To check whether the connection has been successfully established, tap <Test>.

   Note
   	In some cases, you must run the service under a user account other than the system account in order to establish a connection. You can manage the account under which the ibaDaVIS service runs at any time during installation or in the Windows system services.

6. To apply the settings, tap <Save>.
