Facilia Parameter Database

The Facilia Parameter Database can be set up to centralize and quality assure parameter data. Storing parameters in the parameter database assures that data is traceable and transparent.

The database can contain parameter data (values, probability density functions and statistics) as well as lookup table values and settings. The Database itself contains no default values, but once you install the database you can start creating your own set of the parameter data as well as lookup table values and settings.

Facilia Parameter Database features:

• Stores values, time series, statistics and probability density functions.
• Attach comments, references or documents to any value.
• Tag parameter instances.
• Role based user permissions make sure that users only access what they are allowed to.
• Import/export to Microsoft Excel.
• Built-in usability status ladder for quality assurance.

Important: The parameter database software package is not included in the setup of the AFRY Intelligent Scenario Modelling and must be installed separately. The software is available to customers who have purchased the AFRY Intelligent Scenario Modelling Parameter database toolbox (contact AFRY Intelligent Scenario Modelling support: intelligentscenariomodelling@afry.com).

This software package includes two components, a relational database built on Microsoft SQLServer and the standalone Facilia DB manager tool.

• The parameter database built on Microsoft SQLServer Express can be installed either on a server or the same machine as AFRY Intelligent Scenario Modelling.
• The Facilia DB manager tool includes 2 interfaces, Facilia DB and Facilia DB Administration. Through the Facilia DB client tool users can view, add or edit the parameter data.
