TN1286 - Rebuilding Historian Index

Description

Aveva System Platform 2023 includes a new feature to re-index the links which reference the data within the History Blocks. Prior to this release, the process to re-index was a series of manual steps. There are several reasons why the index may require it to be rebuilt. This process simplifies the re-indexing process. Note: this information can also be found in the Historian Administration Guide (2023 release) on pages 172-173.
