Method: CreateDataPluginParameter for Settings <Navigator>

Method: CreateDataPluginParameter for Settings <Navigator>

Creates an object with properties you use to configure a DataPlugin. For example, you can change the default DataPlugin configuration by configuring the "CSV_Export" DataPlugin to create a target file with different file coding, different delimiters, or different decimal symbols. A description of the properties and methods for the DataPlugin named "CSV_Export" can be found on the page of the CSVExportParameter <Navigator>object.

Note If the CreateDataPluginParameter method does not return an object, you cannot configure the selected DataPlugin.

Set oDataPluginParameter = Object.CreateDataPluginParameter(DataPluginName)

The following example configures the CSV_Export DataPlugin and then exports the data from the Data Portal into the specified CSV file:

Dim oMyExportParameter
Set oMyExportParameter = Navigator.Settings.CreateDataPluginParameter("CSV_Export")
If IsObject(oMyExportParameter) Then
  oMyExportParameter.DecimalSign = eCSVExportDecimalSignPoint
  oMyExportParameter.Delimiter = eCSVExportDelimiterSemicolon
  oMyExportParameter.Encoding = eCSVExportEncodingAnsi
  oMyExportParameter.StringSign = "'"
  oMyExportParameter.TimeFormat = "#dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn:ss.ffff"
  Call DataFileSave("D:\MyNewData.csv", oMyExportParameter)
Else
  MsgBox "Parametrization not possible"
End If

oMyExportParameter = dd.Navigator.Settings.CreateDataPluginParameter("CSV_Export") 
if IsObject(oMyExportParameter) : 
    oMyExportParameter.DecimalSign = dd.eCSVExportDecimalSignPoint 
    oMyExportParameter.Delimiter = dd.eCSVExportDelimiterSemicolon 
    oMyExportParameter.Encoding = dd.eCSVExportEncodingAnsi 
    oMyExportParameter.StringSign = "'" 
    oMyExportParameter.TimeFormat = "#dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn:ss.ffff" 
    dd.DataFileSave("D:\\MyNewData.csv", oMyExportParameter) 
else: 
    print "Parametrization not possible"
