Adding or Modifying a Data Model Item

7min

Use Cases

Litmus Production Record Database makes use of Data models based on ISA-88 to store and publish Event data.

To be able to store event data, such a data model has to be configured first.

User can do this either by using applications such as:

  • Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
  • MSSQL CLI

This can also be used for building custom solutions based on applications which allow for an ODBC connection such as:

  • Excel
  • C#
  • .Net
  • Python

Litmus does provide such as custom solution which can be downloaded from our Central Portal.

Method

Execute Stored Procedure PROREC_ProRec_ProcessConfiguration

How to use

To insert a data model item, call the stored procedure PROREC_ProRec_ProcessConfiguration using the T-SQL EXEC or EXECUTE keyword and provide the Input variables. Below is an example using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio:

EXECUTE [LE_ProductionRecord].[dbo].[PROREC_ProRec_ProcessConfiguration] @Node = N'DownTime', @NodeDesc = N'Downtime recording for all assets.', @Level1 = N'Main_Classification', @Level1Desc = N'Holds Information about the main classification of a downtime', @Level2 = N'Sub_Classification', @Level2Desc = N'Holds Information about the sub classification of a downtime', @Level3 = NULL, @Level3Desc = NULL, @Level4 = NULL, @Level4Desc = NULL, @Level5 = NULL, @Level5Desc = NULL, @Item = N'FaultCode', @ItemDesc = N'The fault code returned by the asset', @ItemEng = NULL, @isTime = 0, @isNumeric = 1, @isString = 0, @isBoolean = 0, @isID = 0;

Result

The stored procedure will verify that the provided values are correctly formatted and then create any new node, levels and items or modify existing items.

The result can be read back from the log table PROREC_Misc_Log.

Below is an example using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio:

SELECT TOP (100) [LogID] ,[LogType] ,[LogProcedure] ,[LogEntry] ,[LogTime] FROM [LE_ProductionRecord].[dbo].[PROREC_Misc_Log] WHERE [LogProcedure] = 'PROREC_ProRec_ProcessConfiguration' Order by LogID Desc;

With the result returned

create new data model item
create new data model item
