FMS Batch Data Group

The "FMS Batch" data group is used to send batch data to FMS.

The "FMS Batch" data group depends on one or more support data groups for its data. Support data groups are found in the supportDg element of your sample template. Mapping between "FMS Batch" data group elements and FMS data items is within the batchItems section of fmsMaps in the device template file. See FMS Batch Data Items.

• Example
• Structure and Components
• To Create a Data Group

For more information about working with device template files, see Device Template Files.

Example

<FmsBatch niceName="FMS Batch" baseOrd="1" maxCnt="4"> <supportDg required="false"> <BatchPrev/> <ArchBatch/> </supportDg> <dgElements/> <uccRecvParms> <SDate desc="Start Device Date/Time" required="true"/> <EDate desc="End Device Date/Time" required="true"/> </uccRecvParms> </FmsBatch>

Structure and Components

<!-- Requires at least one support data group. Support data groups are user configurable for this EIE. Exactly what support data group(s) you choose depends on your unique setup and needs. --> <FmsBatch niceName="FMS Batch" baseOrd="1" maxCnt="4"> <dgElements/> <supportDg> <SupportDataGroup/> </supportDg> <uccRecvParms> <UISParameter/> </uccRecvParms> </FmsBatch>

To Create a Data Group

1. Using a text editor or XML editor, open the device template file to which you want to add data groups.
2. Define a new data group.
   1. Define a supportDg element.
   2. Define all support data groups from which you require data.
   3. Define a dgElements element.
   4. Define a uccRecvParms element in the data group.
   5. Define one or more RecParmName elements.
3. Define any other required data groups.
4. Validate and load your template.
