Flowlink 5.1 Software Instruction Manual - Isco

Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
Menu Commands
1. Specify the source site. Type the full name of the site or
click on the Select… button to locate and select the site.
2. Specify the destination site. Type the full name of the site
or click on the Select… button to locate and select the
site.
3. If you wish to delete the source data after the merge,
check the “Delete data from source after transfer.”
Note: This option is not available when using the
Shift + drag merge method.
4. Click the Merge button.
5. Flowlink then opens a Merge In Progress window where
you can monitor the merge activity.
Notes:
Use the merge feature with caution. Flowlink will merge all of
the data sets from the source to the destination. This action is
not reversible.
If the source and destination data set properties match (see page
22), Flowlink writes the data from the source’s site data set to
the destination’s site data set. Be aware that if reading times
overlap in the source and destination data sets, the source
readings, from the beginning of data to the end, will overwrite
any readings of the same time period in the destination site’s data
set.
If the data set properties do not match, a new data set will be
added at the bottom of the destination site.

Viewing the Log -
.MDB Database
Selecting the Utilities>View Log File menu command displays a
log of recorded events. In Flowlink 5.1, this command displays
the Iscolog.txt file.
When Flowlink performs a scheduled operation, the date, time,
task name, and result are recorded in the Log File.
Flowlink Pro can display the same Iscolog.txt file when using an
.MDB database. When using a server database, Flowlink Pro will
display the Server Logs. Server Logs report database changes
and failed transactions.
This window displays the ISCOLOG.TXT file - a record of events
for an .MBD database.
When Flowlink performs a scheduled operation, the date, time,
task name, and result is recorded in the Log File.
Reviewing the contents of the Log File will assist you in resolving
problems with scheduled operations. Unsuccessful operations
include the word “Errors” at the end of the string. This line is
followed by a brief description of the error. The Log file identifies
successful operations with “Success” at the end of the text string.
