These steps show you how to set up two different online profiles. The first is the Online
Import Event, which looks for unload files (containing data from the data collection
instruments) in the unload directory and sends the information to the Emonitor database.
The second is the Storage Limit Updater, which allows you to limit data storage to
specific parameters and specify a time during low database usage, saving disk space and
time (a database maintenance task). Follow these steps to set up online profiles using
Scheduler.
1. Start Scheduler (Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > Emonitor > Utilities >
Scheduler) and click Add.
2. On the Profile dialog, enter the Profile Name, such as Storage Limit Updater or
Online Import Event. You can enter notes about the profile as well. Select Enable
profile for scheduling. Click Next to continue.
3. On the Response dialog, select Scheduled time/date/frequency.
„
For the Storage Limit Updater, click Next and then skip to step 7.
„
For the Online Import Event, select File change notification and click Settings.
4. Click Add File. Select the UD directory under your Emonitor program directory. In
the File name box, enter *.ulf. This tells Scheduler to look for unload files in the
unload directory. Click Open.
5. The unload files appear in the Monitored Files list. Click OK to continue.
6. Click Next on the Response dialog.
7. On the Events dialog, click Add Event.
