- Tag read and write activity
This information can be sent to various destinations. You can:
- View the information in the Diagnostics List or the Diagnostics Viewer.
- Archive the information for future processing or analysis.
- Export the information to ODBC format while online.Exporting to ODBC format let you analyze the data in third-party, ODBC-compliant tools such as Microsoft Excel, and Business Objects Crystal Reports.
If you are logging system activity to an ODBC database that requires login, type the user ID as a fully qualified user name. When using Windows authentication with SQL Server, the fully-qualified user name format is
DOMAIN\UserName
or user@domain.com
(for UPN-style entries). If you do not enter a fully qualified user name, the connection to the database might fail.Provide Feedback
