Environment
PQDIF Exporter Configuration

Cause
The PQDIF Exporter configuration is defined with a non-existent or incorrect database, and throws this error when attempting to connect to it.

Resolution
*Warning: Take backups of any files prior to modifying them. Ensure the backups are in a location that will not be overwritten (i.e. the Desktop).
For Database*

The database configuration information is stored in a .xml configuration file.  This file is named PQDIFExporterConfig.xml and can be located in the <InstallDirectory>\Power Monitoring Expert\config\exporters\PQDIF\config folder.
(e.g.. D:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Power Monitoring Expert\config\exporters\PQDIF\config\PQDIFExporterConfig.xml)

Edit this file and locate the line containing the DatabaseConnection information.

Locate the non-existent or incorrect database name within this line and modify it to reflect the correct database name.
Save and close the file.



Note: Ensure the PQDIF Exporter Configuration UI is closed before you edit the PQDIFExporterConfig.xml file.
