CLIENTACCESS
DEFAULT=R
BRIAN=RW

The preceding entry allows the PINet node BRIAN to read and to write
data to the FactoryTalk Historian system. All other nodes have read- only
access.

TCP/IP node names are case-sensitive. In addition, the values for the
entries in the CLIENTACCESS section (for example, R and W) are also
case-sensitive.

Machine Address

Because FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook is a client/server application,
the communication setup is essential. The machine address, which allows
the FactoryTalk Historian system to recognize your machine, is a key item.
Often, the address may be found as an alias in the TCP host file. The
Network Administrator should resolve any questions or difficulties
regarding the network and addressing.

PROCBOOK.INI

The PROCBOOK.INI file contains configuration and preference settings
for FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook. This file generally resides in two
places, the user's default location, C:\Documents and Settings\name>\Application Data\PISystem\PI-ProcessBook\, and the
PIPC\DAT\ directory (on the local drive where FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook is installed).

When FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook is installed on an individual PC
using SETUP.EXE, the procbook.ini file in PIPC\DAT\en is created (for
the base, English installation). The file in C:\Documents and Settings\name>\Application Data\PISystem\PI-ProcessBook\ is only
created once settings are changed in the FactoryTalk Historian
