This is the source configuration screen for the Hach WIMS Direct Server-Side Interface to Custom Q13170 StarLIMS.

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: one for MS SQL and one for Oracle. 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 system is configured to store data.
  
• 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:

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

• Import based on Approval date from - determines the table that supplies the approval date when searching for data points given a date range.

• Source Tables Owner - Owner or schema (Oracle) of the database tables
