Accessing Data

There are two ways to access data stored on CSWeb by using the Data Manager tool that is included as part of the CSPro suite. The difference in approaches determines whether CSWeb data is fully downloaded onto your local machine.
Once you navigate to CSWeb's Data tab, you will see a list of dictionaries along with a Manage in CSPro column with two icons.
View Data
  • Clicking the Data Manager icon launches Data Manager and displays the data on the server.
  • This opens the data using a CSWeb data source identified using a CSPro URI.
  • The CSWeb data is not fully downloaded onto your machine. Only cases that you view will be transferred.
Download Data
  • Clicking the PFF icon downloads a PFF file that contains details about the dictionary.
  • Running this PFF will launch Data Manager to download or synchronize the data.
  • The CSWeb data will be fully downloaded onto your machine into a single CSPro DB file.
