Once you have the FactoryTalk Historian Asset Framework and the
FactoryTalk Historian SE Server installed, you need to set up
synchronization between the AF service and the Historian server.
This process is called the
MDB to AF transition. For more
information, refer to the FT Historian SE MDB to AF Transition
Guide.
To verify the MDB to AF synchronization:
1. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
Historian SE > System Management Tools. The System
Management Tools dialog box appears.
2. Under System Management Tools, select Operation > MDB
to AF Synchronization.
3. Select the Historian server for which you want to verify the
synchronization.
• If the synchronization is operating correctly, a green icon
appears next to the name of the server.
• If the synchronization fails, a red icon appears. Click in
the System Management Tools dialog box for information
on how to diagnose and solve the problem.
Rockwell Automation considers it a good practice to exclude the
following directories from anti-virus software scanning:
• On Historian server computers, exclude the Server\dat
directory and any directory where archive or event queue files
are located.
• For Interface nodes, exclude the pipc\dat and pipc\log
directories, as well as the directory where buffer queue files are
located.
