Description

 

When migrating from INSQL 9 to a new version of Historian. You are using a new operating system and MSSQL version for the Historian. The new version of the Historian is already loaded on the new server and running.

 

Since the galaxy data is linked to the History Blocks by the tagname in the runtime database we can use a brand new runtime data and deploy the engine  to use the new Historian name.
