Datapage+ Use Specific Database

I don't know if this question has been asked before. I cant find anything.

I understand that Datapage uses the Part Name from the program header to generate a database for that specific program. For the most part this is fine.

But i have a need to have specific data go into specific databases.

For example:

Program name: Program-01.PRG
Part Name: 1234
  • Part# 1234
    • Dimension 1
    • Dimension 2

  • Machine Stats
    • Custom Value 1
    • Custom Value 2



How do i get datapage to import specific values to the database named Machine Stats? I know its going to automatically import to the database 1234, but i need specific values to go into another database as well.

  • I'm trying to figure out how to make the edits. Part of the problem is its an XML file, for at least the methods im trying to use for now. Can i change the file type that PC-DMIS uses for datapage?


    I've not used the DP+, just the DP/RT, but from what I've read here (and there):

    The XML file method is the external update method, right? I think you can still use the TMP file method, which is the direct method, no external update file command, and it is an ASCII text file.
