XCONNECT DYNAMIC WEB REPORTING

Not ready to implement a data collection network on your own?

Sutron can collect, decode, archive and deliver your data to you. Additionally, we can post it to the web and install, maintain and operate your data collection network. Here's how it works.

OBJECTIVE

1. Create dynamic web pages that display data acquired by XConnect.

2. Accept user inputs including date, time, range, station and sensor

3. Customizable data format in tabular

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

1. Windows 2000 Server with Internet Information Server (IIS)

2. XConnect with Database Option – Purchased separately by Customer

3. For Access MDB, no additional license required. For Oracle or SQL-Server,database is supplied by customer.

• Windows 2000 Server and IIS will be supplied, prepared and configured by the customer. Windows 2000 Server must have Service Pack 4 or later. It can be a stand-alone server or part of the domain. TCP/IP protocol must be installed and configured. IIS must have FrontPage 2000 Server Extension (Installed by default). IIS is configured with application isolation level to high. A virtual directory must be created and point to the actual web application directory.

• Other runtime requirement will be installed by XConnect setup.

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS ON IMPLEMENTATION

The dynamic web pages use server-side Active Server Page (ASP) to accept the
user input within browsers, retrieve the data from database, format it into Extensible Markup Language (XML) and use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to format the data into viewable web pages.

The ASP pages display forms which user can select inputs, such as station name, sensor name, time range and submit buttons. When the user click the submit button within the browsers, the request is sent to server. ASP pages interpret the request and generate proper SQL strings to retrieve data from database. The data is returned in an ADO result set. Then the same ASP creates the XML object and stores the data into it. It then returns the data with pre-defined XSLT pages as the response back to user. The browser has the XML and translated by XSLT to render the page into correct style, look and feel. There are two key components in this implement. The first is the data, which is in XML format. The other is the format, which is pre-defined in XSLT style sheets. All data returned to the clients are in XML format.

ASP and XSLT programs are provided in the form of source code, so it can be the start point of further customization.
