Miscellaneous Settings

You can configure specific settings for the underlying database:

• Restrict group names to 7 uppercase characters: Restriction of Oracle schema implementation.
• Allows start/stop of database process: Depending on database architecture some databases can be started and stopped by WinCC OA, such as InfluxDB®. If this check mark is set, the NGA backend will start the database at project start and stop it when the project is stopped. It will also monitor the database process and restart it is not running. If the check mark is not set, the database is expected to be already running when the project is started and will not be stopped when the project is stopped.
• Autogenerate group name in DB: The database representation of the archive group (tablespace, …) will be named like the archive group, . You cannot specify a different name. Required for InfluxDB®.
• Allows manual segment switch: Some databases (such as InfluxDB®) can only perform automatic segment switches.
• Database handles redundancy: Database is able to work in a redundant mode and performs redundancy switches and synchronization after restart on its own.
