Hi Chris We have seen this. It seems to corrupt an r file when packing that r file. So if for you an r file holds about 18 hours of data this maybe the reason. We run the following to fix it. cd /opt/aim/bin xrebuild instance 0 (where instance is your historian instance) xrebuild is documented in the Aim* manual.

Before and after the 18 hour span we have good data. I suspect that the data file might be corrupted or didn't save properly . Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix. We use the historian and report package to compile data for MON/MACT reports. When we don't have the data due to an instance like this we have to report to the EPA.
