Requirements for the DBLogger

Requirements

• Installed WinCC OA and the DBLogger add-on.

• A DBLogger license must exist.

• A relational database must be available. MySQL, MS SQL Server and Oracle are supported by the DBLogger under Windows. MySQL and Oracle are supported by the DBLogger under Linux.

Installation

The DBLogger can be installed as an add-on (user definable option during WinCC OA installation) and must be added to the corresponding projects.

Perform the following steps to fully install the DBLogger on the computer:

1. Integrate "DBLogger_<Version>" as sub project into your project (further information of integrating sub projects you can find on the page Change project properties).

2. Start WinCC OA. Start a user interface with the option -extend.

3. Start a WinCC OA Control Manager from the console with the script DBL_Control.ctl and attach the start mode always (for example, WCCOActrl DBL_Control.ctl).

The DBLogger is now fully installed and can be configured. See the chapterConfiguring the DBLogger.
