Store sessions in a database

The XBee Multi Programmer application software allows you to save all the information related to the sessions in a database, such as the profile used and its settings, user, session information and devices programmed. This is helpful if the application is used in multiple computers, and all the information is stored in the same place.

To store sessions in a database, you must first enable the option in the settings.

1. Click the Settings button of the toolbar or select the File > Settings option on the menu. The Settings dialog appears.
2. On the left side of the Settings dialog, select Storage.
3. Check the Save sessions in a database checkbox.
4. Enter the database server address, port, user and password.
5. Click Apply and then Close.

Note Only MySQL is supported for database recording. The database user must have the following privileges: CREATE, EXECUTE, INSERT, REFERENCES, SELECT and UPDATE.

When you start the programming session, the application software creates a new database called xbee_Multi_programmer and the required tables to store the information (see Database structure for more information). As the devices are programmed, the application automatically stores their information in the database.

The SQL indicator of the status bar toggles green when the session is being stored in a database.

For more information about the contents of the database, see Database structure.
