I-Data Integrator Version
8.2

Contains the settings required to run I-Data Integrator. Any changes that you make to the options in the I-Data Integrator Main window are also reflected in this section of the XML configuration file.

<INPUT-DATA>

<INPUT-DATA Enabled="Yes" ProjManStyle="No" Filter="Yes" Clear="No">
<STYLE-DATA IsoDir="c:\SampleIsoDir" Project="S5Tutorial" Style="Final-Basic"/>
<CONTROL-FILE Path="C:\SampleIsoDir\SPITutorial\Final-Basic\isogen.fls"/>

The <INPUT-DATA> tag contains four attributes.

  • ENABLED determines whether any report is to be processed. This attribute matches the Use Report Files option in the software. Setting this option to Yes ensures that the Isogen report files are read as part of the processing sequence.

  • PROJMANSTYLE specifies how the software locates the reports to be read. If set to Yes, I-Data Integrator uses the I-Configure project setting defined in the <STYLE-DATA> tag to locate the report data. If set to No, the software uses the <CONTROL-FILE> tag to locate the reports. This attribute matches the Use I-Configure or Browse for style options in the I-Data Integrator Main window.

  • FILTER controls which version of the pipeline is read if there are repeated pipelines in the report files. If set to Yes, only the most recent version of the pipeline. This option is no longer available through the user interface.

  • Clear controls whether report files are deleted. If set to Yes, the report files are deleted when processing completes. Usually, this attribute is set to No. It is equivalent to clicking Clear in the Main window.

<LOG-FILE>

<LOG-FILE Enabled="Yes" Path="C:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Isometrics\I-Data Integrator\idi.log"/>

The <LOG-FILE> tag contains two attributes.

  • ENABLED specifies whether a log file is produced. If set to Yes, a log file is produced. If set to No, a log file is not produced.

  • PATH specifies the full path location and filename of the log file.

You must use the configuration file to set up the log file. Options to do so are not available through the user interface.

<OUTPUT-DATA>

<OUTPUT-DATA Path="C:\SampleIsoDir" Type="5"/>

The <OUTPUT-DATA> tag contains two attributes.

  • PATH specifies the folder where any output is to be written.

  • TYPE defines the output format that is produced. The available values are listed below.

    • 0 - Delimited

    • 1 - AES/32 XML

    • 2 - Alias XML

    • 3 - Access

    • 4 - Fixed Text

    • 5 - Excel

You can change the PATH and TYPE attributes using the options in the Main window.

<TEMPLATE-DATABASE>

<TEMPLATE-DATABASE Path="C:\Data\DatabaseName.mdb"/>

The <TEMPLATE-DATABASE> tag contains a single attribute.

  • PATH specifies the full path location and filename to the Access database that the software uses as the internal working database. Queries and external data tables that are required during generation of the output can be stored here instead of in the <OUTPUT-OPTIONS> tag. Also, you can define the structure of some of the tables to be filled to ensure that certain columns are present. The default file used is the template .mdb file stored in the default installation folder

In previous versions of the software, the database listed in the <OUTPUT-FORMATS> tag would have been used as both the internal database and the output database. However, in the current version of the software, this dual functionality can be split.

<PDS-OUTPUT-DIRECTORY>

<PDS-OUTPUT-DIRECTORY Path="C:\PDS"/>

The <PDS-OUTPUT-DIRECTORY> contains a single attribute.

  • PATH specifies the location of the PDS .def file, if one is being used.
