This is the source configuration screen for the Hach WIMS Direct Server-Side Interface to Custom Q12827 LIMS.

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 - two possible templates are included in Custom LIMS interface; one for MS SQL and one for MS Access. These will fill in the most common values for the database connection.
  
• DBMS Type - Select the LIMS database system type from one of these:
  
• Oracle
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Microsoft Access
  
• OLE DB Provider - this will be filled in with Configuration Template and database system type, and can be modified if needed.
  
• Data Source - this field specifies, in loose terms, the "Database/Datasource server name" where your LIMS database is located.
  
• 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.
  
• 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:

• Delete Source - If checked, the interface will copy all data from LIMS_DATA to LIMS_DATA_DONE and delete the data points in LIMS_DATA. If unchecked, nothing in the source database changes.
  
• Import Hach WIMS Comments - Enables or disables importing LIMS test comments into Hach WIMS. If a symbol is found in the result field that is not defined in the Hach WIMS client, the result will be imported to comments.
  
• Case Sensitive - 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).
