<strong>Isco</strong> <strong>Flowlink</strong> <strong>5.1</strong> ® <strong>Software</strong><br />
Menu Commands<br />
1. Specify the source site. Type the full name of the site or<br />
click on the Select… button to locate and select the site.<br />
2. Specify the destination site. Type the full name of the site<br />
or click on the Select… button to locate and select the<br />
site.<br />
3. If you wish to delete the source data after the merge,<br />
check the “Delete data from source after transfer.”<br />
Note: This option is not available when using the<br />
Shift + drag merge method.<br />
4. Click the Merge button.<br />
5. <strong>Flowlink</strong> then opens a Merge In Progress window where<br />
you can monitor the merge activity.<br />
Notes:<br />
Use the merge feature with caution. <strong>Flowlink</strong> will merge all of<br />
the data sets from the source to the destination. This action is<br />
not reversible.<br />
If the source and destination data set properties match (see page<br />
22), <strong>Flowlink</strong> writes the data from the source’s site data set to<br />
the destination’s site data set. Be aware that if reading times<br />
overlap in the source and destination data sets, the source<br />
readings, from the beginning of data to the end, will overwrite<br />
any readings of the same time period in the destination site’s data<br />
set.<br />
If the data set properties do not match, a new data set will be<br />
added at the bottom of the destination site.<br />
Utilities View Log<br />
File<br />
Viewing the Log -<br />
.MDB Database<br />
Selecting the Utilities>View Log File menu command displays a<br />
log of recorded events. In <strong>Flowlink</strong> <strong>5.1</strong>, this command displays<br />
the <strong>Isco</strong>log.txt file.<br />
When <strong>Flowlink</strong> performs a scheduled operation, the date, time,<br />
task name, and result are recorded in the Log File.<br />
<strong>Flowlink</strong> Pro can display the same <strong>Isco</strong>log.txt file when using an<br />
.MDB database. When using a server database, <strong>Flowlink</strong> Pro will<br />
display the Server Logs. Server Logs report database changes<br />
and failed transactions.<br />
This window displays the ISCOLOG.TXT file - a record of events<br />
for an .MBD database.<br />
When <strong>Flowlink</strong> performs a scheduled operation, the date, time,<br />
task name, and result is recorded in the Log File.<br />
Reviewing the contents of the Log File will assist you in resolving<br />
problems with scheduled operations. Unsuccessful operations<br />
include the word “Errors” at the end of the string. This line is<br />
followed by a brief description of the error. The Log file identifies<br />
successful operations with “Success” at the end of the text string.<br />
