16.2 Main components
The System Manager lets you navigate the system, view and override current
conditions, analyze historical operations, and configure the system. The System
Manager contains the System Browser, Primary, Operation and Related Items
panes that interact via built-in workflows. Multiple system management
session can be concurrently used.
The System Browser displays objects in the building control system through
various views. You can search and filter objects, display object names and
descriptions, and drag objects into Trends, Schedules, and Reports.
Historical data is stored in an access-controlled MS SQL Server database. The
System Management Console lets you create a project History Database (HDB)
and link it to the active Desigo CC project on the main server. The history
database is used to log a wide range of user and system activities, such as:
● User and system activities
● Alarms and their treatment
● Faults that have occurred and are handled as batch messaging
● Values that are logged as trends
The runtime data (process image) and the engineering data are stored in a file-
based database in a subdirectory of the project directory. The data is
unencrypted and database access can only be prevented by restricting access
to the database files. The project directory needs to get shared when deploying
installed clients. It is therefore important to restrict access on the
db folder in
the project directory to the Windows account running the Desigo CC main
server.
Desigo CC uses the Microsoft SQL database software. Microsoft SQL Express
is included on the product installation DVD (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Service Pack 2, Express Edition, version 10.50.4000.0). Alternately, you can use
an existing Microsoft SQL Server installation (same version 10.50.4000.0). In
this case, the Desigo CC Installer will skip the Microsoft SQL Server
installation. In both cases, Microsoft SQL must first be installed and running on
the computer where the Desigo CC main server will be installed.
A Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) server for Web Clients and
Windows App Clients can be installed on the Desigo CC server or on a separate
installation (web server).
