This is the source configuration screen for the Hach WIMS Direct Server-Side Interface to GE Proficy iHistorian. It is important to note that in order to connect to a GE Proficy iHistorian server, the iHistorian OLE DB driver must be installed on the computer where this interface is installed. See article Install GE Proficy iHistorian OLE DB Driver. 

In order to configure source connection from the interface, click Configuration and select Source Configuration.

The next screen will display parameters such as Data Source, User ID, Password, Connection and Command Timeouts, and allow you to Test Connection:

• Data Source - this field specifies, in loose terms, the "Database/Datasource server name" where your GE Proficy iHistorian system is configured to store data.
  
• User ID and Password - these fields are only mandatory if the connection to the GE Proficy iHistorian system requires them. These fields should be blank if not used.
  

• Advanced Configuration - these permit adjustment of the command and connection timeout. Currently, these are ignored by the iHistorian OLE DB driver, but are put here to enable future enhancements.

• Connection Timeout in Seconds - how many seconds the program should wait when establishing a connection to the GE Proficy iHistorian server.
• Command Timeout in Seconds - specifies how many seconds the program should wait for a query to complete before aborting the operation.
• Options
• Store Daily Values on Stop Time Date - If checked, Daily data will be stored on the End Date instead of the Start Date.

Buttons:

	Test to see if the connection settings are valid and the interface is able to connect to Hach WIMS. Does NOT Apply or Save the settings.
	Allow user to view connection string to the source database.

The other buttons are explained in Using Common Buttons.
