one program Different report databases

[[Me...]]

How can I get my one program to be setup in Different report databases with piweb reporting.

one example i can relay to why someone would want this is for Plastics.
with my old company they used QC-calc and had separate QCcalc files for each mold.
so the same part was getting to different databases essentially. This is important to detect trends per mold.

I assume PCM will be a must for this kind of thing. Any ideas other than filtering one database by mold number?

I don't understand why you wouldn't use a variable on run-time like Mold # and the operator selects the mold # at run time. Then you can do your comparisons using Group By > Mold # and you can do statistical evaluations like a box plot showing how each mold runs each dimension.

Without PiWeb SBS or Enterprise you aren't going to be able to bring those 2 databases together for evaluation anyways. Unless you're exporting them..

We are doing something similar for plastic parts. Operator inputs/selects fields before run.
No need for PCM.
We export to QDAS database and then other guys are filtering/viewing with QS-stat or something like that.
I have no idea about PiWeb

Thanks for the reply guys. Not quite what i am looking for though.

The mold example was just one example of why someone would want that...
But in my particular application I am using PCM for a family of parts with similar dimensions. I have some PCM in the beginning that has the operator tell it what part it is, then loads a parameter file set with multiple variables that change the the actual dimension ect.

I am currently setting the variable "DBSWITCH," which is a qc-calc variable for the qc file name.

my program runs fine and exactly how I want it. I am just wondering how i can get the same outcome with PiWeb.

Doesnt matter if you use pcm or not, do what Laura suggests.

Eric did you read my reply above?

Maybe I am looking at it different or I just don't see it haha...
But my program currently uses pcm to change the nominals/tolerances of each characteristic that gets reported.
I didn't go too deep into the piweb side just because when I looked at the spc of all my data points it was all messed up from the different nominals/tolerances per run.

yes I fully understand that I can filter the data through a variable. The question is can I or can I not get this to report in a totally different database? similar to how I am doing it with QC-calc?

I did actually read it, but when you load different nominals, it's not the same part anymore, or? What name the program has is irrelevant. Lets say you load "blabla-1" nominals. Then your part number is blabla-1 and will be stored as that in piweb. When you load "blabla-2" nominals, that's -2. And those result shall be stored under "blabla-2". And mold # as an example, you store that along with the results to either -1 or -2. Then everything is nicely arranged for comparison and it's easy to sort out what you like to see.

You can't change the nominals and run statistics mixed with another nominal. That's... My English vocabulary doesn't even have a word for that.

Or maybe I have misunderstood the whole thing? Just let me know and I'll stfu 😃
