Jim,
If the new instance is named the same, stop all aim-related processes on old
AW, zip instance folder, copy to new AW, unzip in instance folder, and restart
AIM processes on new AW (need to set instance to start automatically, too).
Sometimes you have to start/stop aim a few times to get the historian going on
the new box.
If it's named something else, you can only transfer the configuration over, as
far as I know. Do a Save Config from old AW, replace historian instance name
with new one in output file, and batch config in the file on the new AW.
Thanks,

Subject: [foxboro] Changing Historian Servers
All Knowing List, I seek your guidance, I have a situation where we are
retiring and old AW with AIM*Historian on it and installing a new AW with
AIM*Historian on it. I have the new AW built with AIM installed as well as the
AIM licensing transferred. Is there a simple solution for "moving" the
existing instance form the old AW to the new AW? I have read the AIM manuals
cover to cover and have not seen a direct path to do this. We are running
Foxboro I/A 8.4.2 and AIM*Historian 3.3.1 with AIM API version 5.5.0. Both
systems are Windows boxes.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jim Aster - Sr. Systems Engineer
