Accessing 800xA via OLE DB
3BDS011222-510 B 467
Example Command Line
Retrieve version information about the OLE DB provider:
GET_DATA(VERSION)
Get a list of all short references in the 800xA system:
GET_DATA(STORAGEINFO)
Get the data specified by a short reference:
GET_DATA(OBJECTHELPER=DsReference)
Get data by specifying object, aspect and property directly:
GET_DATA(OBJECT=[Control Structure]MB300 Test Network/Extended
Process Objects x/MB300 AI/AIC4_1; ASPECT=Control Connection;
PROPERTY=VALUE)
Note that the example shows a full path to the object. It is also possible to give
shorter reference to the object, as long as it will uniquely identify the object.
Short References
In some report packages, it might not be possible to specify command strings as
described in Command Line on page 466. When this is the case, you will need to
use the OLE DB DA Access Table aspect. The OLE DB DA Access Table works as
a short reference for the report package and contains all necessary information to get
the data.
Normally you create the aspect on an object in the Library Structure.
ASPECT The name or GUID of the aspect where the property belongs.
PROPERTY The name of the property.
(1) The Object GUID, Globally Unique Identifiers, uniquely identifies each object.
