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

The next screen will display parameters on two tabs. The first is Database Connection:

• Configuration Template - one template is included in the interface; for MS SQL. These will fill in the most common values for the database connection.
  
• DBMS Type - Select the database type from one of these:
  
• Oracle
• Microsoft SQL Server
  
• OLE DB Provider - this will be filled in with Configuration Template and DBMS Type, and can be modified if needed.
  
• Data Source - this field specifies, in loose terms, the "Database/Datasource server name" where your LIMS database system is configured to store data.
  
• Source Tables Owner - Owner or schema (Oracle) of the database tables
  
  
• Database Name - name of the database instance
  
• Username - The username you want to use to connect to the database. This user should have permission to access the database and tables that contain data.
  
• Password - The password associated with the Username and is used to connect to the database.
  

• Advanced Configuration - these permit adjustment of the command and connection timeout.

• Connection Timeout in Seconds - how many seconds the program should wait when establishing a connection to the source server.
  
• Command Timeout in Seconds - specifies how many seconds the program should wait for a query to complete before aborting the operation.

The second tab is Advanced Settings:

• Import Hach WIMS Comments - Enables or disables importing test comments into Hach WIMS
  
  

• Hach WIMS Facility - This interface imports values to one and only one Hach WIMS Facility, this is where you select the facility.

• Ignore Case when matching between Source Identifiers and WIMS Variable Cross References - If Enabled, then both the source data identifiers and the Hach WIMS variable cross reference will be changed to upper case. If Disabled, then both the source data identifiers and the Hach WIMS variable cross reference are used as-is (case sensitive matching).
