DataWatch Desktop 12 Workbooks (earlier versions of the product are Panopticon Workbooks versions 6.x and earlier) are fully supported by LiveView Desktop's Workbook Viewer view. If you have DataWatch Desktop (or Panopticon Designer) installed on the same machine as LiveView Desktop, you can import an existing workbook. The only data tables supported in Workbooks are those using the StreamBase CEP and StreamBase LiveView choices. Other data tables (such as Excel, text, or any other table format) will not load. StreamBase LiveView and CEP data tables will stream data just as they do in Desktop or Designer.

To use LiveView Desktop with existing DataWatch Desktop (Panopticon Designer) workbooks, you need to install the DLL file for the LiveView connection. To enable the LiveView data-source in DataWatch Desktop 12 (earlier versions are Panopticon Designer EX 6.3.0 or later) follow these steps:
-
Use the DLL from LiveView 1.4.0.3. If you have never installed LiveView 1.4, contact TIBCO StreamBase support at sbsupport@tibco.com for the correct file.
-
Copy the StreamBase.LiveView.API.dll and StreamBase.SB.Client.dll into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Panopticon\EX\Plugins directory. These files are normally found at
$STREAMBASE_HOME$/bin. For example, on a default install for Windows the StreamBase DLL is in this location:C:\Program Files (x86)\StreamBase Systems\StreamBase.n.m\bin
On a default install for Windows the LiveView DLL is in this location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\StreamBase Systems\StreamBase.7.3\liveview\sdk\bin
-
If the plug-in remains unavailable or causes errors, check the
log.txtfile (%APPDATA%\Panopticon\EX) for errors.
