The document discusses the data management dilemma faced by chromatography data systems that have a database backend instead of producing flat files, such as Dionex Chromeleon. It mentions that database products like Oracle and SQL Server generate compressed archive files that cannot be viewed, indexed, or searched. It also introduces Agilent's OpenLAB Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system, which provides specialized support for Dionex Chromeleon data. Using this system, users can schedule automated data transfer from Chromeleon to OpenLAB ECM and query the data based on user-defined archive criteria. Storing the data in OpenLAB ECM allows for indexing, searching, and reviewing without a complex restore procedure. The key benefits of this system include reducing the time from data to decision making, increasing the useful lifetime of data, reducing implementation and training costs with a web-based application, and improving efficiency with tools capable of archiving data without an end user restore process.
This document describes the support provided by Agilent's OpenLAB Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system for Dionex Chromeleon data. It highlights how users can schedule automated data transfers from a Chromeleon database backend into OpenLAB ECM using a specialized interface and scheduler agent add-in.
The process allows users to define archive criteria such as sequence name, source path, time of creation or modification, and age. Data is exported into a technology neutral file (TNF) before being packaged with the archive for upload. Once in OpenLAB ECM, the data can be indexed, searched, reviewed, and annotated without requiring a complex restore procedure.
OpenLAB ECM offers a specialized interface for archiving Dionex Chromeleon data revision 6.8.
Yes, users can choose to include spectral data in the upload if desired.
The information is exported into an XML or technology neutral file before generating the archive.
