How Do I Set Up The Firehouse OFM Extraction Program?

For Enterprise Installations

1) Download the OFM extraction program from here (http://www.symposium911.info/downloads/FHOFMExtract.zip) and unzip the file FHOFMExtract.exe and place it in the Firehouse installation directory.

2) Run the Microsoft Windows ODBC driver manager (ODBCAD32.exe) and create a new Microsoft SQL Server System DSN ODBC connection called FHOFM_EXTRACT. The default database should be changed to the Firehouse database and the login should be through windows authentication.

3) As long as the Firehouse database has the proper OFM codes installed and proper user fields set you can now run the program FHOFMExtract.exe and do OFM file extractions for submission to the OFM.

For FoxPro Installations

1) Download the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver from here (http://www.symposium911.info/downloads/VFPODBC.msi) and install it.

2) Download the OFM extraction program from here (http://www.symposium911.info/downloads/FHOFMExtractFP.zip) and unzip the file FHOFMExtractFP.exe and place it in the Firehouse installation directory.

3) Run the Microsoft Windows ODBC driver manager (ODBCAD32.exe) and create a new Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver System DSN ODBC connection called FHOFM_EXTRACT. It should point to the Visual FoxPro database (.DBC) file on the harddrive called incident.DBC.

4) As long as the Firehouse database has the proper OFM codes installed and proper user fields set you can now run the program FHOFMExtractFP.exe and do OFM file extractions for submission to the OFM.
