What is this for?

This app is to assist you with creating a shared variable library. It requires an excel file which describes the name and data type of variables. This file can be regarded as your database for signals in your setup.

You can bind variables in your library to variables in other processes that might be deployed on other servers.

This app also allows you to manage the variable engine. You can see deployed processes. You can deploy libraries. You can remove processes, and more importantly you can initialize all variables in the libraries to default values.

Database

Database is an excel sheet which contains information regarding the shared variables. The information that is required for creation of shared variables is name and data type. In addition, binding information can be provided.

The database has a specific format. Data are presented in the following format: Variable Name - Variable Dta Type - Bind:Server Name - Bind:Process Name - Bind:Variable Name

The database template can be found from the Data Logging app either using the menu bar: Help -> Database Templates or from the source code: ./support/templates

Building Database using Wizard

You can build the database using the wizard. This is especially a good approach if you want to create a new library whose variables are bound to other deployed libraries.

You have a chance to rename variables.

Managing Shared Variable Engine

You can use this app to deploy libraries, remove or initialize processes.
