VisiconX

Using the Historian OLE DB provider with VisiconX, you can do the following:

Use table or SQL queries.
Insert multiple controls into a picture to the same or different servers.
Pass a user name and password or be prompted when opening a picture.

To access the Historian OLE DB provider from VisiconX, follow the steps outlined for OLE DB providers in the Using VisiconX Help manual.

After you follow the steps outlined in the Using VisiconX manual, you need to perform one other task with the FixUserPreferences.ini file in the Dynamics/Local folder. This additional step is necessary because the provider does not support asynchronous (ASYNC) executes. By updating one line in the FixUserPreferences.ini file, you can make all of your VisiconX controls use synchronous (SYNC) executes. See Updating FixUserPreferences.ini for details.

For more information on VisiconX and the SQL Wizard, refer to the VisiconX Using VisiconX Help manual.
