This is a small example to show how a database object can be created from a mimic script in ClearSCADA. The script below creates a instance of a template and names the newly created instance based on the user's input.

Sub CreateInstance

sInstanceName = InputBox("Enter instance name")

If Len(sInstanceName) > 0 Then
    'Specify ClearSCADA Server object.   
    Set oServer = CreateObject ("Serck.ScxV6Server") 

    ' Provide connection information to connect to the ClearSCADA Database. The SystemName should be the same as in the Configure Connections utility.
    oServer.Connect "SystemName", "UserName", "UserPassword"
               
    ' Get references to the Group to create the instance in.
    Set oGroup = oServer.FindObject (Server.ThisObject.Parent.FullName)
               
    ' Create the instance by passing the class information.
    Set oNewUser = oGroup.Create("CTemplateInstance")
               
    ' Name the instance.
    oNewUser.Rename(sInstanceName)
    
    Server.SetOPCValue oNewUser.FullName + ".TemplateId", 9 
               
    oServer.Disconnect()

End If
              
End Sub
