Why do you say it saves only 500 entries? I'm still using the legacy
historian, and the configurator allows me 4 digits for the Maximum Number of
Messages so I put in 9999 for the opraction message group.

Here's a snippet of my script to grab things out of the OAJ. You'll have to
come up with the $YY, $MM, and $DD variables yourself (man date), but this
is the basis for what you want to do. Change the start and end time for the
second daily execution.

HIST=hst04a                          # change to the proper historian
OAJGEN=/usr/foxbin/oajgen            # the Ace report script
TMPFILE=/tmp/oajtempfile             # temp output file
STRTIME="$YY-$MM-$DD 00:00"          # start time is 00:00 today
ENDTIME="$YY-$MM-$DD 11:59"          # end time is 11:59
# run the Ace report job to produce the report
$OAJGEN $TMPFILE $HIST '*' '*' '*' "$STRTIME" "$ENDTIME"
