2 Introduction

2.1 Applicable versions

SYS 600 9.4 and later.

2.2 Short Description

Exporter provides automated export of historical data from Measurement Reports module, event his-
tory database and Trends module.

The configuration is done by means of ‘export objects’. The export objects have properties for when
to export data, what to export, where to put the data and the outlook of the exported file(s). The user
can add, remove and edit export objects as required. The objects can also be temporary set out of
use to stop the automatic export but keep the configuration and use for user activated export.

3 Installation
After installing the SA-LIB addon package, there is an icon placed in Tool Manager, Application Ob-
jects tab:

When opening Exporter the first time, it will automatically create required command procedures.

It is also possible to add a menu item in the Monitor Pro (+). Add as a Visual SCIL Tool using tool id
EXPORTER.

You can also add an authorization level to the menu item. An authorization level of at least 1 (opera-
tor) is required to make changes to the configuration.

4 User Interface

4.1 At A Glance

The main toolbar is at the top of the page benath the title.

In current version it has only two buttons:

- Exit – closes Exporter tool

- Help – opens this document

Exporter has three tabs:

1. Measurement Reports Export

2. Events & Alarms Export

3. Trends Export

Each tab has a similar layout.

o On the left, the tree shows all configured objects.

o At the top of the tab page is the toolbar with buttons

o Selecting the highest level in the tree will list all objects in the table:

2 019 -1 1 -22 6/39

— EX PORT ER

o Selecting an object in the tree will show the configuration pages:

The object toolbar (details in this chapter):

1. Object Name

2. In Use / Not in Use. Setting object not in use means that it is not automatically executed so no files
are created automatically. User can still manually export data from Export Now… (11).

3. Save changes to object.

4. Revert to last saved settings for selected object. Any unsaved changes are lost.

5. Create a new object.

6. Rename object.

7. Copy selected object as a new object.

2 019 -1 1 -22 7/39

— EX PORT ER

8. Delete object.

9. Shows last execution time (last time data was exported).

10. Shows when next execution will take place.

11. Export data manually.

4.2 User authorization

There are three authorization levels:

0 – read-only – user can see the objects but cannot perform any actions.

1 – control – user can set objects In Use/Out of Use and use Export Now.

2 and higher – configuration – full access to configuration

By default, the user gets the level set by Authorization Group GENERAL. To customize authorization,
add authorization group EXPORTER_TOOL in User Management and assign roles.

4.3 Most common operations

The following is a ‘quick howto guide’ on the most common operations that Operators can typically
perform. These instructions are valid for all types (Measurement Reports, Events and Trends).

4.3.1 Selecting Object

There are two ways to select objects:

1. Select highest level Export Objects in tree. Now you can select one or several objects from the
list. If you select several objects, hold Ctrl key on the keyboard and click on the objects.

2. Select the object in the tree. This way you will gain full access to the configuration tab pages.

2 019 -1 1 -22 8 /39

— EX PORT ER

4.3.2 In Use / Out of Use

Setting an object in use will enable the automatic export according to the object’s settings.

Icon in tree:

Setting an object out of use will disable the automatic export.

Icon in tree:

4.3.3 Export Now

1. Select one or several objects and click Export Now….

2. This will open a window where start and end time can be selected. The destination file name and
folder can also be selected. Note that file name can only be set when one object is selected, other-
wise it is disabled.

2 019 -1 1 -22 9/39

— EX PORT ER

By default, the From Date & Time is the last execution time of the object. The default To Date &
Time is current time.
The default file name is taken from the object’s file formatting, see the File Type & Destination tab
page.

NOTE! The max time range is one year. If a larger range is selected, it will automatically ‘cut’ the
file off at 1 year backwards from the end time.

Click Select… to change date and time.

3. To start exporting, click Export. This will take a while. The more data to be exported, the longer it
takes. Selecting large time ranges for very big configurations may take minutes!

4. When finished, a window pops up with the created file name(s).

5. To view the file(s) immediately, click View File(s) Now…. This will open the file in default program
for the file type.

6. If the file was not created, check Notification Window for error messages.

8 Common settings & features

8.1 Object Toolbar

1. Object Name

If there are unsaved changes to the object, it is followed by an asterisk (*).

If multiple objects are selected, it shows a generic text:

2. In Use / Not in Use.

Setting object not in use means that it is not automatically executed so no files are created auto-
matically. User can still manually export data from Export Now… (11).

Several objects can be set In Use/Out of Use by selecting them in the table (see here for details on
selecting objects).

3. Save changes to object.

Only available when there are unsaved changes and only one object is selected.

4. Revert to last saved settings for selected object.

Any unsaved changes are lost.

Only available when there are unsaved changes and only one object is selected.

5. Create a new object.

To add an export object, click the toolbar button.

2 019 -1 1 -22 1 7/39

— EX PORT ER

Enter a name for the object, use only a..z, 0..9 and underscore (_) characters.

The name must start with a non-numeric character.

The max length is 32 characters. Give the object a meaningful name since the name can be used in
the file name and file header. Each export object name must be unique, and the names are not case
sensitive (converted to upper case characters).

The object is loaded with default values.

To edit the new object, select it from the tree.

6. Rename object.

7. Copy selected object as a new object.

Enter a name for the new object.

All configuration parameters are copied into the new object.

8. Delete object.

Delete one or several objects.

9. Shows last execution time (last time data was exported).

2 019 -1 1 -22 1 8/39

— EX PORT ER

10. Shows when next execution will take place.

The date format used is according to SYS600 system settings.

11. Export data manually.

Explained in this chapter.

8.2 Contents
8.2.1 Header Formatting
The header is the first row in the exported file. You can enter any characters. To make a column sepa-
rator, enter a vertical bar ‘|’. You can also use a set of identifiers to enter ‘dynamic’ data, such as dis-
play names, page names, page titles etc. To get a full list of available identifiers, click the ‘?’ button.

8.2.2 Include column titles

When checked, title for each column is included:

- Measurement Reports: uses column titltes from the Page configuration

- Events & Alarms: Selected by user.

- Trends: selected by user.

It is recommended to include column titles when using file type HTML and XLS, since the default tem-
plates are expecting column titles.

8.2.3 Quality Tags

Quality tags can be added to data that is of bad quality. The tag is placed after the value (if there is a
value). Below is an example where a value is tagged uncertain or faulty.

2 019 -1 1 -22 19 /39

— EX PORT ER

Using the quality tags in CSV/TXT/XLS files must be considered if the exported file is used for further
analysis. For XLS, the cell will automatically be converted from a numeric value to a textual value. for
CSV/TXT, the tag must be extracted from the value.
Tag Description

Not Sampled Include a tag for not sampled values (OS=10)

Faulty or Uncertain Include a tag for faulty, obsolete or uncertain values (OS=1 or OS=2)

Good data % on summaries ONLY for Trends. Indicates a percentage of good data for the sum-
mary values. An example is shown below. The values in brackets
shows the percentage of good data was found for given time pe-
riod.

8.3 Execution & Range

8.3.1 Execution Period

Execution Period determines how often and at what time the object should be executed. Depending
on the value in the pop-down, there will be settings for month, day, day of week, hours and minutes.

As the values are changing, the ‘Next execution takes place at’ will show the next execution time ac-
cording to current settings. Do not confuse this time with ‘Next scheduled execution’ in the toolbar,
which is the time based on the saved values.

To select the last day of every month, set the Day spinner to 32. The Quarterly execution period has
no alternative, the times are always Jan 1st, April 1st, July 1st and Oct 1st at midnight.

2 019 -1 1 -22 2 0/39

— EX PORT ER

Do not set the execution time to the next minute of current time. For example, if the clock is 14:23, do
not set the execution time to 14:24, leave at least one minute time because the objects are checked
for execution every minute (at 10 seconds).

8.3.2 Hints for setting execution time

While it is possible to set the execution time to any minute, it is recommended to use the sample/pe-
riod times that the reports are using. For example, if you are exporting a measurement report with
15min values, select the execution time to be at 0, 15,30 or 45 minutes, not something in between.
Selecting other times may result in either overlapping or missing data at the beginning or end of the
exported file.

8.3.3 Data Range

Data range determines the start of the time period for which data should be exported. The end time
is always the execution time.

For Measurement Reports, do not try to fetch sampled values (hourly reports) for longer periods than
the History length setting for Measurement Reports. The default History length value is 15 days.

Start from last execution time: Selecting this option sets the start of period to last execution time.
This insures that no data is lost between the export periods.

Set a time range: Selecting this option it is possible to set the time range using the spinner and pop-
down objects. The actual time range is shown in the From and To fields below.

Reset: Resetting the time range helps when re-configuring an object and the last execution and time
range needs to be reset.

8.4 File Type & Destination

8.4.1 File type

File type: Select file type. Options:

- CSV: Saves file with extension CSV so it can be automatically opened in spreadsheet pro-
grams.

- TXT: File is saved with TXT extension.

- HTML: Saves the file in html format so it can be opened in web browsers

- XLS: Saves the file in an MS Excel file format (xls, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb)

8.4.2 Column separator

Visible when file type is CSV or TXT only. Select the column separator character. This is totally inde-
pendent from File type, so e.g. a file type of TXT can still have e.g. a comma as the column separator.

8.4.3 Templates
HTML template: Visible when file type is HTML. Select a pre-defined template for the HTML report.

XLS/XLSX template: Visible when file type is XLS. Select a pre-defined template for MS Excel spread-
sheet. Several MS Excel workbook formats are supported. The actual file format is selected by the
template.

8.4.4 Destination folder path

The base path for all files created by this export object.

8.4.5 Sub-folder and file format

Sets the file names and optional sub-folders. Identifiers can be used to create unique sub-folders and
file names. The same formatting options are available as for the Header. The file names at the next
execution are listed below the file name field.

8.4.6 Append data to existing file

When selected, the data will be appended to existing files. If not selected any existing files will be
overwritten at the next execution.

9 HTML Reports

9.1 Templates

For Measurement Reports and Trends, there are two different templates available, Tem-
plate_dark.html and Template_light.html.

For Events & Alarms, also two templates available: Template_dark_event.html and Tem-
plate_light_event.html.

The templates are stored in sc\apl\[apl name]\REPORTS\templates folder.

Below is an example of a measurement report made with Template_dark.html

9.2 Changing the logo image

The logo image can be changed to any image that thw used web browser can use.

The images must be stored in sc\apl\[apl name]\REPORTS\templates folder.

Open the Template*.html file in an editor (e.g. Notepad++) and change the logo file name as shown
below.

2 019 -1 1 -22 2 4/39

9.3 Creating tailored templates

You can create your own HTML templates. The consist of simple html5 for the layout and css for the
styles. There are a lot of online resources for learning html5 and css, just search the web!

Here are some rules to follow.

1. The template file name must be named Template*.html

2. The template file must be placed in sc\apl\[apl name]\REPORTS\templates folder.

3. Header data will be placed inside table class “header-table”.

The style can be edited in <style> section for table.header-table and table.header-table th.

2 019 -1 1 -22 2 5/39

— EX PORT ER

4. Column headers are written into the data-table header (first row of table). The table row class is
“column-header”.

The style for “column-header” is found in table.data-table th:

2 019 -1 1 -22 26 /39

— EX PORT ER

5. The report values will be written table class “data-table” and tr class “data”.

Note that the templates have two rows of data for testing. You can add more rows of data if nec-
essary in your template, they will all be removed when creating a real report.

The style for data values can be edited in table.data-table tr and table.data-table td.

2 019 -1 1 -22 27 /39

— EX PORT ER

6. The two empty rows between data values and the summary values at the bottom are left un-
touched when the report is created. The style is in tr.empty-rows td because the rows are still
part of the data-table.

7. The summary rows are at the very end of data-table. The style is in tr.summary-rows.

8. Inside the data-table there must be

a. One row of class “column-row“

b. One or several rows of class “data“
c. One or several rows of class “empty-rows“
d. Only for Measurement Report/Trends: One row of class “summary-rows“

9. There must be a table of class “header-table” with one row containing the header (th).

10. Inside the <body> section any other html elements can be inserted.

2 019 -1 1 -22 2 8/39

— EX PORT ER

11. The <header> section may be modfied as required.

12. The <style> section may be edited as required, such as colors and other properties of the ele-
ments. New styles may also be added.

2 019 -1 1 -22 29 /39

10 XLS Reports

10.1 Templates

There are four different templates, all with a a different MS Excel format:

xls Excel 97-2003 workbook

xlsx Excel ‘macro-free’ workbook

xlsm Excel macro-enabled workbook

xlsb Excel binary workbook

To use the last three ones (the newer formats), you must install “Microsoft Access Database Engine
2016 Redistributable” package, download from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/de-
tails.aspx?id=54920. According to the System Requirements, it does NOT support Windows Server
2016, but was tested successfully also on this OS. The maximum number of columns on each sheet Is
255.

Note that for Events, only one template is included, Template_events.xls.

The template that you select will determine the file format.

The file extension is automatically changed when changing the template.

The templates contain 10 worksheets, all identical. One sheet corresponds to one page in the report
page configuration. If you have a display with more than 10 pages, you must copy/paste more pages
in the template.

10.2 Macros

There are some VBA macros in the templates that formats the data in the workbook. The exception is
the xlsx format which does not store macros.

2 019 -1 1 -22 30 /39

— EX PORT ER

Module1.FormatSheets()

This macro is executed from Workbook_Open(). It formats the data (text to numeric) and creates a
table out of the data. It also hides first row and first column of every sheet.

Module1.CreateSheets()

This deletes all sheets except the first one, then makes given number of copies of the first sheet. This
can be used to create exact copies of first sheet after making modifications to it.

10.3 Creating tailored templates

You can create your own templates with e.g. logo images. Here are some rules to follow.

1. The file name must start with Template and the file extension must be one of the supported file
formats.

2. The number of sheets must be at least as many pages you have in the report page configuration.

3. The sheet names must be exactly ‘Page1’, ‘Page2’, ‘Page3’ etc., depending on how many sheets
you have.

4. The first row of each sheet, must have the text ‘Col0’, ‘Col1’, ‘Col2’ etc. up to ‘Col255’.

5. The first column A must contain the following identifiers:

a. <xls-header>

This indicates the row where the export header is placed. The header starts from column
B.

b. <xls-titles>

The column titles will be placed on this row, and the data rows will follow on the follow-
ing lines. The summaries will be placed after the data, separated by one empty row.

6. This is required only if you are using macro Module1.FormatSheets()! In cell A2, the style
names for header, data and summary cells shall be entered, separated by comma.

2 019 -1 1 -22 31 /39

— EX PORT ER

Styles can be created and modfied in Excel. The nmae that is used in cell A2 can be also be seen
from the Style toolbar:

Below is the table style used in default templates shown. Typically the names are as shown in
tool tip but without the spaces.

If you are unsure about the name of a style, you can record a macro where you format some
cells with the style in question. Thew style name will be found in the macro.

2 019 -1 1 -22 32 /39

— EX PORT ER

10.4 Simple example template

This is an example of a simple template witohut any macros. This template is planned for up to 30
columns of data, and up to 97 rows of data (e.g. a daily report with 15 minute values).

See screenshot below. Row one and column one are shown here but hidden in the saved template.
The first row and column are filled out as explained previously. The data including the column titles
are formatted as a table (until column 30). A logo and a ‘main header’ has been inserted.
