I think all that last step is doing is running the program
"/opt/aim/bin/histstart &" that runs on boot-up. As long as AIMAPI is
up, you should be able to just run "/opt/aim/bin/histstart &" from the
command line. I have never tried this though.
Also, you should be able to run the AIM*Histmgr program from your PC in
the Windows environment without having to log in to the AW51. It comes
with the AIM*Utilities option on the client CD. You need an an_init.cfg
file on the PC that tells the PC which IP address that the second
Ethernet port on the AW51 is using.
As far as GoGlobal, you should seriously investigate replacing GoGlobal
with VNC. You can find it free at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html.
VNC provides a true OpenWindows desktop as opposed to the "screen wipe"
that GoGlobal gives you. This overcomes many of the limitations that
GoGlobal has in terms of running all the "remote draw" applications in
I/A. Also, upgrades to GoGlobal are no longer being provided by
Invensys. There is a bit of a learning curve involved in setting up
VNC, but I have some documents I can provide off-line that should get
you started.

Subject: [foxboro] Starting an AIM Historian Instance through VT100
Hello List,
I would like some advice regarding starting an AIM Historian Instance
through a VT100 unix command instead of using the historian manager
graphical user interface.
I use helpful hint HH1001 "Restarting AIMHistorian" from TAC often to
stop and restart my AIM*Historian processes without rebooting an AW51D
box. I use a thin-client "go-global" when working remotely.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to perform the last step "open histmanager and
turn the instance on" without opening the histmanager graphical user
interface. If I open the gui through either the vt100
/opt/aim/bin/histmgr command or the config menu selection, the gui pops
up on the AW in front of the operator instead of the goglobal thin
client screen that I'm using.
Thank you for any help.
AIM Historian 3.2
I/A 6.3
AW51D
