Client called in due to noticing they were missing around 37,000 tags and only had around 7,000 showing in system since yesterday afternoon.

They are unsure of the exact error but client stated it was something along the lines of "Cannot reserve the .LOK file." They believed the error was due to a lack of space/memory or too many nodes in the importer so they deleted 10-15 of the nodes which I believe were tied to the missing 37,000 tags. Attempted to query some of the missing tags using query and no data was returned for tags for live or historical values. Believe that nodes will be need to be readded to import tags or possible backup restoration on system?

[ISS Support Case] Historian Migration Guidance

This machine will act as a flex license server for a couple HMI panels running Aveva Edge (2020) as well; those HMI Panels are also part of this upgrade project. The new Server2022 VM is built, and I have also created a dummy Server2022 VM on my laptop to experiment with as well. I have the System Platform Installation Guide manual, as well as a few other items, although I havent read every last bit of it. A couple quick questions Im running into at the start of the process on my dummy VM: Question: In terms of migrating the configuration of the old Historian to the new VM, I noticed that there is a configuration export tool that generates a text file on the legacy (WW Historian 2017) machine. I have also taken the step of creating a .bak backup of each WW Historian Database (Holding and Runtime) as well. Is it preferable to restore those databases into the new SQL Server Express? Or is it better to use the import tool when attempting to migrate to the new system?

[ISS Support Case] 2023 License Backward Compatibility

Direct email : Last December, we changed our license and support agreements to a Flex Agreement, encompassing SCADA, Historian, Reporting, and InSight + redundancies everywhere. The licenses provided by the Flex Portal are, obviously, for the latest versions of each application. The problem is that when I try to apply the 2023 license to the Historian, it does not use it. I did not remove the 2020 R2 license from the server. This is what I did for testing purposes: 1. Opened the Enterprise License Manager 2. Installed the Flex License 3. Reserved the Historian 2020 R2 license to another device 4. Forced a License Refresh on the SMC When I did that, it did not capture the Flex license. I have no grace period licenses available.

[ISS Support Case] Historian Server Upgrade Questions

Almost ready to replace an old Wonderware 2014 Historian with a new Historian running System Platform 2020 R2 SP1 on a Windows 2019 VM. The new SP Historian server has been running for the past couple of months and collecting data. Would like to copy all history blocks from the 2014 Historian to the new Historian. Should I delete all history block folders on the new Historian and copy over all history block folders from the old Historian or do I only need to copy over the history block folders that do not currently exist on the new Historian? Need to make sure that we are keeping all of our historical data intact. Have been following https://3777554.extforms.netsuite.com/app/site/crm/externalcasepage.nl/compid.3777554/.f?formid=6&h=AACffht_vbqCKdcsKDfLP4IS_S5lgzIuuAQ&redirect_count=1&did_javascript_redirect=T as a guide. Also, have one Historian Enterprise 25K Tag license and one Historian Local 25K Tag license for a Backup Historian. After retirement of our old Historian and conversion to the new Historian, I will be standing up the Backup Local Historian. Since the Historian software will be exactly the same on the Backup Local History as on the primary Historian, will the Backup Local Historian know to use the available Historian Local 25K Tag license?

[ISS Support Case] Remote IDAS service stops

Installed Remote IDAS and WSP2014SP1_Patch02 on a server that has FSGateway installed and needs to cache tag data in the event that the server disconnects from the Historian server. Followed the instructions in AVEVA TN000023017 to perform the install. Have rebooted the server where Remote IDAS is installed. The Historian Data Acquisition service starts, but then stops. The Windows system event log shows the service starting, but the service stops shortly after starting. An error is registered in the system log "The Wonderware NetDDE Helper service depends on the following service:NetDDE. This service might not be installed" (other workstations where Remote IDAS is installed do not get this NetDDE error). One issue to note about this system is that it requires the adjustment for daylight savings time to be turned off. So, the system time on the server where Remote IDAS is installed is one hour behind the current time. Can I assume that the time on the server would need to agree with the time on the Historian Server for the Remote IDAS that was installed to work? If Remote IDAS can still operate with daylight savings time turned off, what might need to happen to resolve the issue with the Historian Data Acquisition service turning off?

[ISS Support Case] Disabling IPv6- Supported In 2020

I see in your TN AppSvr300 that IPv6 was not supported by Wonderware products as recently as your update to this article in Jun-2020. Is that still the case? We are currently running AVEVA Historian and Client Historian 2020 R2 SP1 and Wonderware 2014 for Dev Studio and InTouch Runtime. We are not using IPv6, but have not disabled it. We are not experiencing any known issues with AVEVA products on workstations or servers, but we are considering the possibility of disabling IPv6 to reduce network traffic that has been detected as IPv6. Given our current environment is your recommendation to still disabled IPv6? Just wanted to make sure that this is still your position on IPv6.

[ISS Support Case] Historian Migration How To 11.0 - 23.0

The old Historian is still in production. Basically, the client is running both App Server 2012 R2 and System Platform 2023 at the same time. Everything is replicated, both the hardware and software. The last step is to get the new Historian to read all the data from the old Historian so that the old Historian (and all the App Server 2012 R2 hardware and software) can be decommissioned. The new Historian does have a few more tags, than the old one, but we dont have to worry about them because I can run a query on those few tags before migrating the old historian data to the new historian. I tried shutting down the new Historian, deleting all the history blocks, copying the history blocks from the old historian, then restarting the Historian. This almost works, however, the data is spotty nulls occur in places in time they shouldnt, for example. Since just copying the history blocks from the old to new didn't work, I attempted the method shown here https://knowledge.insourcess.com/Operational_Efficiency/Historian/Implement_and_Support/Support_Tickets/Installation_and_Configuration/Installation_and_Configuration14/68223_-_Unable_to_see_data_in_imported_History_Blocks I made a backup of the Runtime and Holding database one the old Historian, copied them to the new Historian, and then attempted to restore them to the new Historian. I detached the Runtime database on the new Historian and selected Restore data base, then pointed to the Runtime data from old Historian. However, I received an error message that the Runtime database cant be restored because it is being used by the Runtime 11 database. See attached screenshot. What should my next steps be?

Data does not appear to be logged or visible in trends. Troubleshooting Steps Performed Verified WWClient Connectivity Confirmed successful SuiteLink connection to the IO Server (MDAS). Tested tags via WWClient connection succeeded. However, observed that values were not updating as expected, or returned with poor quality. Historian Reindexing Followed the official procedure (InSource Tech Note) to reindex Historian: Shut down and disabled Historian. Deleted contents of the following directories: D:\Historian\Data\SearchIndex\files D:\Historian\Data\Logs\SearchIndex D:\ProgramData\ArchestrA\HistorianSearch\Logs Re-ran Historian Configurator with Reindex selected. Restarted Historian service. Ran Change Network Account and OS Configuration Utility Executed tool to ensure proper DCOM permissions and service account configuration. Validated results and confirmed account consistency across services. Verified Time Sync Configuration Time Sync parameter on IO Server is set to 1, meaning timestamps are sourced from the PLC/device. Identified potential for timestamp mismatch if PLC time is unsynchronized. Recommended temporarily setting Time Sync = 0 to force server time for debugging. Historian Tag Quality Verification Since the Excel Add-In is not in use, may need to query tag values directly via SQL in SSMS: query: SELECT TOP 100 DateTime, Value, QualityDetail FROM Runtime.dbo.History WHERE TagName = 'SampleTag' ORDER BY DateTime DESC; Analysis of QualityDetail column ongoing to determine whether Historian is rejecting values due to poor quality (e.g., 0x00, 0x40). IO Server and Data Flow Checks Confirmed IO Server service is running. Verified that data is configured to collect from the appropriate source. Reviewed tag configuration in Historian Admin (scan rate, deadband, collection status).

For example, if you specified D:\Historian\DATA\Circular as the circular data folder, the CSV data import folder is D:\Historian\DATA\DataImport,. Important: If you leave the data import path at the default location (on the drive hosting the circular data folder), placing large CSV files in a data import folder may prompt the AVEVA Historian disk management subsystem to immediately start moving or deleting history blocks to maintain the configured amount of required free space on the disk. It is highly recommended to change the data import folder to a different drive than your circular storage. The different import folders are described in the following table: Import Folder Description \DataImport Used for normal CSV import files. \FastLoad Used for "fast load" CSV import files. Files in this folder are processed one at a time, in the order that they appear in Windows Explorer as you are viewing the folder contents. \Manual Used by MDAS for tags. If the amount of data spans multiple 64 KB chunks, files are collected in the \Support subdirectory until all of the data is received. The files are then copied to the \Manual folder for inclusion into history.

[ISS Support Case] 2020 Historian data storage issue

The 2020 R2 Historian is storing a null when an DA server goes offline and then when it comes back online, if the tag does not change from the value prior to the null, it does not insert the current value and the null stays until the value changes. For a setpoint this caused a 5 day gap in the value on the Active Factory trend due to the null being stored. See notes below: Please respond by email., i work part time, remotely from pacific time zone. 2020 R2 SP1 Historian Tagname DateTime Value vValue StartDateTime 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/19/2022 8:15:19 AM 209.6 209.59999999999999 3/19/2022 8:15:19 AM 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/19/2022 12:40:44 PM (null) (null) 3/19/2022 12:40:44 PM 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/23/2022 8:51:38 AM 209.5 209.5 3/23/2022 8:51:38 AM 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/23/2022 8:51:43 AM 209.6 209.59999999999999 3/23/2022 8:51:43 AM 2014 R2 SP1 Historian Tagname DateTime Value vValue StartDateTime 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/19/2022 8:15:19 AM 209.6 209.59999999999999 3/19/2022 8:15:19 AM 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/23/2022 8:51:38 AM 209.5 209.5 3/23/2022 8:51:38 AM 1601G-TE-105.2_SP 3/23/2022 8:51:43 AM 209.6 209.59999999999999 3/23/2022 8:51:43 AM The above are delta retrievals via 2014 Active Factory Web Query. Both Historians are configured for Delta storage with a time deadband of 1000 ms and both historians point to the same remote DA server (DASMBTCP). The tag is a setpoint which rarely changes. There was some issue with the remote DA server machine, and it wasnt until the setpoint was manually adjusted did the 2020 Historian record the new value to replace the stored null. Is there any way to ignore nulls on an Active Factory trend retrieval? Why does 2020 R2 SP1 Historian insert the null compared to the 2014 Historian?

I need to install a remote IDAS on an Intouch HMI 2014 R2 node and have it provide data to both a 2014 R2 historian and a 2020 R2 SP1 historian. Is this possible? The 2014 historian will be decommissioned in July but I'd like to have the remote IDAS connect to both historians during the switchover. Also the upgrade to the HMI from 2014 R2 to 2020 R2 will likely not occur until later this year so I'd like to use the 2014 remote IDAS with the 2020 R2 historian if that is possible. I did install a test remote idas on the server i use for the 2014 Intouch development and WIS and could get it connected and configured to the 2014 historian. If i try and use it on the 2020 historian it appears to want to configure the remote idas again an not use the configuration from the 2014 settings.

[ISS Support Case] missing NT SERVICE (virtual) users

Don't attempt to call my office phone number. Email is the easiest way to reach me. Thanks. According to TN_WW241_NT_Services_that_must_not_be_excluded_from_the_Administrators_group Certain virtual accounts must not be deleted from the box in order to have a stable system. On our various Historian boxes, I see that the following user is referenced in the local Administrators group, but does not exist as local user: NT SERVICE\aaPim. Likewise, on the servers that our OI Server runs on, the following 3 accounts are referenced in the local Administrators group, but do not exist as local users: NT SERVICE\aaPim, NT SERVICE\adpHostSrv, NT SERVICE\simHostSrv. Numerous of these types of orphaned account entries exist in the aaAdministrators group on our Historian boxes as well. I'm wondering how everything can continue to run with these local accounts missing? What are your recommendations? The whole reason I'm researching this is because of a couple of failures (that required reboots) in one of our OI Server boxes -- the that now appears to be because of that box needing to be re-joined to the domain.

[ISS Support Case] A2ALMDB Migration

I trying to copy an A2ALMDB database from an existing ASP2020 R2 SP1 system (upgraded from ASP2014 R2 SP1) to a newly installed ASP2020 R2 SP1 system. On the new system alarms are logged as expected to the A2ALMDB database created by the Configurator. However, when I backup the A2ALMDB database from the existing system and restore to the new system, alarms are no longer logged. I'm guessing this is a security/authentication issue. I see one warning in the Historian logger "Please update Historian Server properties with valid credentials (on client computer)". I'm not sure that's the underlying issue and how to do that.

[ISS Support Case] Database migration Upgrading Historian

Have upgraded a Wonderware Backup Local Historian server from Wonderware 2014 R2 SP1 to SystemPlatform 2020 R2 SP1. Would like to migrate the Runtime db on the Backup Local Historian from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Express 2017. Using the Database Migration steps as recommended on page 145 of the Install Guide. Made a backup of the SQL Server 2012 Runtime db and successfully restored the db into SQL Express 2017. Got to step 3, but then encountered the error message in the attached file. Logged on as a local admin on the server and can write to the destination data path folder. So, Im not exactly sure why Im getting the error message or the best option to proceed.

[ISS Support Case] Historian Server log not logging

The Historian Server log is not getting any new entries (since 8/6). Yes, I've checked to see if I accidentally have a filter turned on, and I don't. This happened one previous time, and I can't remember the fix. I'm sure a reboot was involved somehow. I checked just now, and the ArchestrA Logger service IS running. Speaking of reboots, this log stopped updating just after the last reboot, just in case there is a tie-in there somewhere. You can reach me best via my work email. Thanks. (not sure I have the version of the Historian Server correct in the form above... where does one find this info?)

[ISS Support Case] Deleted MDAS tags still show up in HC Trend

Needed to delete several objects in IDE. History was enabled for these objects. Even after IDE deletion, these objects still showed in the Trend app; no new data, just the old history data that was collected. I deleted from the historian in the manual tags section, then deleted in the Trend app. I verified they were gone in all 3 places. However, when I deploy another object in the IDE, for some reason these objects show back up in the trend app - they do not reappear in the IDE or the Historian manual tags. Need to get this fixed and curious what other source the trend app might be pulling data from - or is there more than one location in the Historian that i need to delete objects from. Thank you,

[ISS Support Case] Connecting to Historian aahIoSvrSvc

I seem to recall Historian could act as a data source and serve out data from a tag, is this right? Do you know how to do that? There is at least one tag in historian, a SYS tag, which appears to trend the CPU performance. I was thinking perhaps I could create an object in app server which points to this tag. I could then set an alarm. If the value goes above, say, 50% for more than 30 seconds, I sound an alarm. I could even set Win911 to send me a text message if this alarm goes off

[ISS Support Case] Change network account is missing from Historian Node

I have a couple of questions that I was hoping you could answerI was wondering whether the Change Network Account Utility is still used in System Platform. In the Historian Admin Guide it is mentioned, but I dont see it in the Aveva menu and dont find aaAdminUser.exe anywhere on the hard drive of the local backup Historian after install of SP 2020 R2 SP1. Is this replaced by the Configurator Security? With Wonderware 2014 the change network account needed to exist on all Wonderware workstations and servers and needed to be the same user ID and password. Is this still the case for SP 2020 R2 SP1? I was hoping to make some changes in what users are Historian Admins and Historian Power Users.
