Database List View Tab of Weblink Utility

Use the Database List View tab to view all of the databases that are currently set up within the Weblink utility and run scripts that exist on the Vision application server against any of those databases.

This tab contains the following grids:

  • Grid View — This grid provides a quick glance at all the databases that are currently set up within the Weblink utility.
  • Scripts — This grid allows you to run scripts that exist on the Vision application server against any database in the Grid View grid. Scripts must already exist in the /Databases/Scripts folder on the application server to run them from the Scripts grid.
Warning: Run scripts only on the advice of a Deltek consultant, who can verify that the scripts are for the current version of Vision.

Tab Toolbar

Field Description
Save Select this option to save your changes.
Change Password Select this option to change your Weblink password.
Delete Old Databases This option is typically used for internal Deltek purposes. Click this button to remove all databases whose version is different from the database version used with Deltek Vision (for example, if you are running multiple databases at one site, perhaps in a test scenario). Weblink also removes all databases to which a connection cannot be made.

If there are any pending Weblink changes, a message displays asking if these changes should be saved before removing the old database. After the old and unreachable databases are removed, Weblink is refreshed with the new data.

Help Select this option to access online Help related to the Weblink utility.
