Re: [foxboro] Legacy Historian Modifications

You can use the cfgpts tools under /opt/fox/hstorian/bin, a doc file exists
inder the same directory (cfgpts.doc)
You are able to dump your configuration to ASCII, modify it and upload it
again.

The Indexes are not changed during this operation.

Subject: [foxboro] Legacy Historian Modifications


I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.

I have to make some modifications to a legacy historian...mostly to existing
points already in the historian.  I want to keep my downtime to a minimum.
What is the best way to go about these modifications.

This is what I have done thus far...

I have created an ASCII file, from the existing historian, and made changes
to this file. Then I uploaded it into the historian.  I knew I would get
some errors because of the points that were already existing but it did not
make changes to the points that I wanted to make changes to.

Do I need to delete those points from the historian first and then upload
the modified ASCII file into the historian?  If I do this will it keep the
existing index numbers? ( I want to retain the history of the points I am
trying to modify).
