How to use a private database in OLI software version 10 and later?

Installing the database

See Installing an OLI Database for instructions on how to load a private database

Using a private database in OLI Studio/Analyzer

1. Start the OLI Studio/Analyzer program.


2. Create a stream. A note about hierarchy. The deeper into a tree the more local the change. You can specify a database at the program level, a stream level, or a calculation level. Make the appropriate choice. For this example, we are going to add a database at the stream level.

This will display a list of loaded databanks. Note 1, that you may not have all the databases listed below. Note 2, we have selected the MSE thermodynamic framework.
