  6. How is it possible to verify that XML-DA wrapper has been installed correctly?

    Please type the URL in the internet browser as follows: http://localhost/XML-DA/SAEAutomation.OpcDbGatewayDA.3.asmx. If the XML-DA wrapper is working correctly you will see a web service test page which will inform you about all operations which are supported (it is a standard test page for all ASP.NET web services).

  7. If the XML-DA wrapper is installed successfully and working, how should we get the related web services' WSDL?

    If the web service test page is working, just click on "Service Description" link on the top of the screen to display web service’s WSDL or visit the following link http://localhost/XML-DA/SAEAutomation.OpcDbGatewayDA.3.asmx?WSDL.

  8. In the User's Guide "Win XML-DA OPC Client" is mentioned, where can I get this software and what is this software for?

    XML-DA OPC Client is a sample application only for the purpose of testing and demonstration how to access data through XML-DA interface. Please contact us and you will obtain the source code of this application on demand.

  9. We have already created a project for OpcDbGateway. I want to ask whether the Function Blocks (e.g. Main, Start) are the items displayed on the web service page?

    Function blocks are not items displayed on the web service page. They represent only a group of commands that can be executed sequentially in OpcDbGateway. OPC XML-DA is universal OPC standard that provides interface for accessing OPC server’s data through a web service (this means you can access items configured in the server's address space).

  10. How to access a process database through ODBC interface?

    The database access through ODBC provider is optimized for SQL Server. If you need to access other database e.g. ORACLE then please contact us and we may offer you additional possibilities how to solve your problem.

  11. From the following link http://localhost/XML-DA/SAEAutomation.OpcDbGatewayDA.3.asmx is not possible to get a web service test page. How can the problem be solved?

    Please make sure Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or higher is installed on your computer correctly (you can see if .NET Framework is installed via Administrative Tools panel). If so, try to reinstall .NET Framework. You can download it at Microsoft website. Make sure .asmx file extension is registered in IIS server. Make sure your link is written right.

  12. Our OPC server doesn't show in the OPC server list, is there any way to add OPC server to map items?

    You may write your OPC Server directly to the field "OPC Server ProgID" in format "computer name:ProgID".
