i!-Database Plus and DBWizard
File Tab
The options under the File tab allow you to control the NetLinx code (AXI file) and database server
script (ASP file) that will be generated. The options are:
ASP File
Webserver Host name or IP Address
Webserver IP Port
Webserver Path
Absolute Database Path
NetLinx AXI File
NetLinx Local IP Port
NetLinx Code Prefix
Encapsulate
Once all these values are populated, you can select
Generate Code
from the Tools menu to
generate the code. Four new files will be created:
The automatically generated ASP and AXI files
NetLinxDBInclude.ASP and NetLinxDBInclude.AXI
These files include the helper function that the generated ASP and AXI files rely on.
ASP file
This is the main database server script file and will be transferred to the web server when you are
finished.
If this file exists, you will be prompted to overwrite it.
Webserver host name or IP address
The address of the web server that is running the ASP file.
The NetLinx code will require this value in order to work. If you do not know the name or address
of the web server, you can use a place holder like "localhost" and change the AXI manually in
NetLinx Studio at a later time.
If you have access to the server, you can use the
winipcfg
command under
Windows 95/98 or
ipconfig
under Windows NT/2000 to get the IP address of the server.
If you change any of these parameters, a sample browser URL will be built for you in the
"Example Browser Path" window.
Webserver IP port
The Webserver IP port is a web server port, usually port
80
. Only unusual web server setups will
use another value. If 80 does not appear to work, contact your web server administrator for the
correct value.
If you change any of these parameters, a sample browser URL will be built for you in the
"Example Browser Path" window.
