follow the open database command. If a database is not specified,<br />
the default (last opened) database is assumed. When specifying<br />
graph/table and schedule names in command lines, they must<br />
appear exactly as shown in the workspace. Remember to use<br />
double-quotes for any names that contain spaces.<br />
Examples:<br />
• Open a specific database:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /db<br />
"c:\FL5\data\isco.mdb"<br />
• Retrieve data from a site found in the default database:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /int "Fifth and Vine"<br />
• Open a particular database and print a graph/table:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /db c:\FL5\data\isco.mdb<br />
/pg "Manhole B5"<br />
• Import a file into the default (last) database:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /imp "c:\My<br />
Documents\Main Street.csv"<br />
• Export a graph/table:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /exp "Graph 723"<br />
• <strong>Manual</strong>ly run a schedule from the default database:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /man "Run Daily at 08:00<br />
AM on Mo Tu We Th Fr"<br />
• Run a manual schedule from the default database:<br />
c:\FL5\isco.exe /man "<strong>Manual</strong> Retrieve<br />
Data Fifth and Vine"<br />
Notes:<br />
• Keep in mind that only one instance of the database may<br />
be in use at a time. <strong>Flowlink</strong> cannot perform a command<br />
line task if the requested database is already open.<br />
• The commands should be entered on a single line<br />
followed by a return. The line breaks in the above<br />
examples are due to limitations of the printed page<br />
margins.<br />
Manage the<br />
database<br />
Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong> recommends that you keep all of your sites in a<br />
single database. The single database allows you to use <strong>Flowlink</strong>’s<br />
abilities to meet your flow monitoring needs. <strong>Flowlink</strong> can<br />
perform advanced analysis (I&I, CSO, Flow comparisons,<br />
stormwater, etc.) on numerous sites, as long as it can access the<br />
data. More than one database would only be recommended when<br />
there is a need to perform independent studies, such as<br />
contractual or short-term analysis.<br />
To help maintain the database, consider the following:<br />
• Sorting Data in the workspace so sites are easy to find.<br />
• Defragment the Database at regular intervals.<br />
• Periodically Backup the Database for easy recovery.<br />
