Displays the name of the target SmartPlant Instrumentation domain and enables you to define the Domain schema logon information. The values that you enter in this page must be unique at the site server level and typed as one word with no spaces. You can use an underscore (_) to indicate a space.
Domain name — Displays the name of the SmartPlant Instrumentation domain you are going to create.
The software assigns a name to the domain automatically, using the name of the current
plant structure as a source. If you want to modify the domain name, you must modify the name of the plant structure
itself.
Domain schema name — Allows you to type the Domain schema logon name. This parameter is required for connection to the domain you are creating. After completing the association process, when a domain user logs on to SmartPlant Instrumentation, the software uses the Domain schema logon name and password to connect to the domain. The Domain schema name that you define becomes the domain logon name in the database. After creating a domain, the Domain schema logon name becomes set permanently in the software.
Domain schema password — Allows you to type the Domain schema logon password. This parameter is required for connection to the domain you are creating. The Domain schema password is not encrypted; after creating a domain, the Domain schema logon password becomes set permanently in the software. When performing a database connection, the software retrieves the logon name and password from the SmartPlant Instrumentation database (from the PROJECT table of the Admin schema, created when you configured the SmartPlant Instrumentation database for your site server).
The schema password must be different from the domain name. We recommend that you write down the schema password and keep it in a safe place. When creating a domain, the software changes all the password characters to upper
case. This means that if the Domain schema name is MY_DOMAIN, you cannot use my_domain as the password string.
View-Only Domain schema password — Allows you to change the default logon password of the View-Only Domain schema. The View-Only Domain schema holds database views of all SmartPlant Instrumentation tables in a domain. This schema enables viewing data for users of report generators, such as Microsoft Access and InfoMaker. The View-Only Domain schema logon name is <Domain schema logon name>_VIEW. The logon name is set permanently in the software. The default logon password is also <Domain schema logon name>_VIEW. The maximum password length is fifteen characters (not case-sensitive).
In the database, the password is not encrypted. If you change the password, make sure you make a record of the change so that you
can use the password if you have to rebuild the default views in the domain. You can change the password only once, when initializing a new domain. The default password and the characters that you type when changing the password
appear masked.
