Database Structure, Schema, Object Names and Identifiers

All objects in the Geo SCADA Expert database have an associated class, which defines the behavior of the object. For more information on the database structure, see Understanding the Database.

The Geo SCADA Expert Database Schema is a web based display that provides information about the various classes in the database. For more information, see Working with the Database Schema.

All objects in the database can be uniquely identified by either their full name, or object identifier. The following methods of the ScxV6Server object can be used to translate from full name to object identifier:

• Use the LookupObject method to translate from an object identifier to an ScxV6Object representing the database object.
• Use the FindObject method to translate from a full name to an ScxV6Object representing the database object.

Once you have an ScxV6Object, use the ID method to return the object's identifier, and use the FullName method to return the object's full name.
