Description

 

This article from InSource shows how to resolve NULL value issues after you've upgraded from a lower version of the Wonderware Historian and you are no longer able to see previously stored data in the old history blocks and instead receive NULL values.  This is caused by the fact that the older Wonderware Historian used another storage method and and the AIHistory table needs to updated.
