TIP
If you want to have access only to FactoryTalk Historian Time series data,
install PI OLE DB Provider (page 48) instead of OLE DB Enterprise.
PI OLEDB Enterprise is an OLE DB data provider which provides
access to the PI System in a relational view, accessible through SQL
queries. The provider supports read-only access to asset and event
data stored in the PI Asset Framework (AF), such as AF Elements,
AF Attributes and PI Event Frames. PI OLEDB Enterprise also
provides read-only access to time series data from the PI Data
Archive, since Attributes can be configured to reference PI points.
To install PI OLEDB Enterprise:
1. On your FactoryTalk Historian SE installation DVD, go to
Redist\Advanced Server Options\PIDASSetup\OLEDB
Enterprise\.
2. Double-click Setup.exe. The installation wizard appears.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
After the installation is complete, the Advanced Server component
is available from the PI System item in the Start menu.

TIPS
• If you have already installed PI OLEDB Enterprise (page 48), skip
installing PI OLEDB Provider.
• If you install PI OLEDB Provider without PI OLEDB Enterprise, you will
have access only to FactoryTalk Historian Time series data.
The classic PI OLEDB Provider, based on the Microsoft Object
Linking and Embedding Database (OLE DB) standard, allows
relational queries to the PI Server using SQL queries.
