Running DBWizard

Webserver path

The path from the web server root where the ASP file will exist. This is the path relative to the web
server root where the database and database server script will be placed.
If you do not know where this will be yet, leave it blank. If you have control of the web server, enter
a simple directory name that represents your application. Then you can create this directory on your
web server and place the database and database server script in this directory.
As you enter this value, a sample browser line will be built for you in the "Example Browser Path"
window. You can use this example browser path to test you web server setup, as described in
the Putting It All Together section on page 28.

Absolute database path

This will include the full path to the database in the database server script (ASP file). If you are
running DBWizard on the server machine, you can check this box and you will not need to move
the database. If it is unchecked, the database and database server script (ASP file) will need to be in
the same directory on the web server. This option does not apply to DSN databases.

NetLinx AXI file

This is the NetLinx database interface file and needs to be included in your program. If this file
exists, you will be prompted to overwrite it.
You should note that DBWizard will re-generate the AXI file listed in the NetLinx AXI File text
box. Any changes you made in NetLinx Studio will be overwritten by DBWizard. You should avoid
customizing the AXI file generated by DBWizard by including the AXI into and AXS
programming and doing your customization in the AXS file.

NetLinx local IP port

This is the local port number to be used in the IP device definition. This value must be 2 or greater,
and must not conflict with any existing local port numbers used in other IP device definitions in
your program.
Local ports for IP device definitions should be sequential and not skip large blocks of numbers.

NetLinx code prefix

This prefix will be added to all variables created in the AXI file. This allows you to include multiple
AXI files generated by DBWizard into the same program by giving each file a unique code prefix.

Encapsulate

The "Encapsulate" checkbox option will force DBWizard to add square brackets around each
database field name during the code generation process.
( i.e. )
[FieldName]
This option should only be used if you are connecting to a Microsoft Access Database or Microsoft
SQL Server. The square brackets are used by Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server to help
identify table and field names in the SQL syntax.
This option's setting is saved with the DBWizard project file (*.DBW).
