Hello, Is it possible to export data collected/shown graphically in flexsim dashboard to SQL server? If yes, please share the steps to do that. Thank you.


I read this: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/154040/is-it-possible-to-access-data-in-this-dashboard-ta.html

but I want steps to convert dashboard to statistics collectors as well.

FlexSim 24.0.1

The steps to expose the already present stats collector from a dashboard chart are to install it.

The way to export the data to a database is to use a Database.Connector and query the (now installed) StatsCollector and use the database's INSERT INTO clause (the syntax changes depending on the specific database).

This is already described in the post to which you linked.

It will be something like this (sqlite example):

Database.Connection con=Database.Connection("SQLiteConnection");
int connected=con.isConnected;
if (!connected)
    connected=con.connect();
    
if (connected){
    Database.PreparedStatement statement=con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO StatsCollectorData VALUES(:Time,:Object,:Staytime)");
    Table collector = Table("Staytime Collector");
    int numrows=collector.numRows;
    for (int i = 1; i <= numrows; i++) {
        statement.bindParam("Time", collector[i]["Time"], Database.DataType.DateTime);
        statement.bindParam("Object", StatisticsCollector.getPathFromID(collector[i]["Object"]), Database.DataType.VarChar);
        statement.bindParam("Staytime", collector[i]["Staytime"], Database.DataType.Double);
        statement.execute();
    }    
}

if (connected)
    con.disconnect();

Model and db attached:


WriteStatsCollectorToSQLiteDB.fsm
