Managing Data Links

The Data Links tab in Tracking Server Manager gives you access to the various data links and connectors that connect to the tracking message server. Here, you can activate, edit, and disconnect data links as needed.

Not every data link will have a properties dialog box where you can specify settings. Data links with properties dialog boxes may differ in their setup steps. Refer to provider documentation for more specific information on data link functionality.

Note:

The Feature Logger data link must be running to access the Feature Logger Properties dialog box. If you double-click Feature Logger and it does not start, a message box appears asking you if you want to start the data link. Click Yes to access the Feature Logger Properties dialog box.
