configurations that had Compression Enterprise Connections
would be available here. Since we selected a non-compression
report data source, any FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configurations that have non-compression (OLE DB, OCI, or
ODBC) enterprise connectors will be available.
3. The Enterprise Connector is the service that will manage the
connection between the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration and the database. The FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager Enterprise Connection list contains the enterprise
connectors that are available from the configuration that you
selected. From the Enterprise Connection list, select the
OLE-DB_Connector.
4. Click Next to continue.
If the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager configuration is
already running and is enabled for online edits, you can edit
the configuration without stopping it. However, if the
configuration is running and is not enabled for online edits,
the wizard will prompt you to stop the configuration. If you do
not stop the configuration, the Time- Series Data Collection
Wizard cannot make changes to the configuration, and the
wizard will close automatically.
NOTE
The FactoryTalk Transaction Manager Live Data Migration Tool
allows you to convert configurations with non-FactoryTalk data
points into FactoryTalk data points. For additional information
about editing a running configuration and using the FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager Live Data Migration Tool, see the “Online
Edits” topic in the online help.
Next you’ll see the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager to
FactoryTalk Historian Classic Reporting dialog. This dialog enables
you to select the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager data points from
which FactoryTalk Historian Classic will be collecting data and
enables you to specify the FactoryTalk Historian Classic reporting
tags to which the data will be logged.
