IBase Workspace

To work with IBase, you need to use the following workspaces.

When you install IBase, a System Information node is added to System Browser under: Application > Advanced Application > System Information.

When you select System Information, the Extended Operation tab displays a list of properties that you can set to configure the behavior of the IBase report.

Output Filename¹⁾	Location and name of the IBase report generated. The default path is [Installation Drive:]\[Installation Folder]\[Project Name]\shared\scripting\IBaseReport The naming convention of the IBase report is SiteInfo_[CSID]_[System Name].xml.
Signature recalculation Interval	Provide the time interval when the checksum report is to be generated with new data Values can be 0 to 4.where 0 indicates that each time the checksum will be calculated during each report execution. 1 indicates checksum will be calculated weekly. However checksum data will always be included in the IBase report based on the last executed report. 2 indicates checksum will be calculated in two weeks. However checksum data will always be included in the IBase report based on the last executed report. 3 indicates checksum will be calculated in three weeks. However checksum data will always be included in the IBase report based on the last executed report. 4 indicates checksum will be calculated in 4 weeks. However checksum data will always be included in the IBase report based on the last executed report.

Pre-configured Reaction (Timing)

When you install IBase, a pre-configured reaction known as timing becomes available in the Reaction Editor tab when you select Applications > Macros > Logics > Reactions > System Information > Timing.
This is used during the automatic execution of the IBase script. Thus the IBase script will execute automatically if all the conditions configured in it are valid.

You can modify the reaction (Timing). For example, you can change the time and/or day when the IBase script execution starts.

IBase Script in the Script Editor

The IBase script is selected under Applications > Logics > Scripts > System Information and its Status is Idle in the Extended Operation tab.

When working in Engineering mode, the Script Editor displays the IBase script that can be executed manually or automatically.

During IBase script execution, the IBase script traces information messages which can be viewed in the Console expander of the Script Editor. Similarly, the error messages, can be viewed in the Error List expander.

On successful execution, the IBase script generates the IBase report for the system.
