You can start Database Manager by clicking the Database Manager button on the Application toolbar (Classic view) or by selecting Database Manager, in the Process Database group, on the Applications tab (Ribbon view). As the program starts up, it prompts you to select the SCADA server you want to connect to and establishes a connection to the computer you select. Once Database Manager connects to the selected SCADA server, the program opens the server's current database.
From the Database Manager, you can open databases from SCADA nodes with iFIX 3.0 or greater installed. You cannot add, modify, or delete blocks in databases from earlier versions of iFIX, such as iFIX 2.5 or FIX32.
To exit from the program, in Classic view, select Exit from the File menu or in Ribbon view, click the Database Manager button, and then click Exit.
NOTE: Connections to remote SCADA servers are established with a physical node name, not logical node names. Logical and physical node names are identical unless you enable SCADA redundancy. For more information about this feature, refer to the Mastering iFIX manual.
