Sorry for the delayed response.. Our AIM* historian is 95HIS1 (which hosts hist01) Our OPC server is AUMOBPM04 which is off platform -> has AIM OPC installed with HDA and as a service. In the API Admin tool on 95HIS1 -> we have created a user called AUMOBPM04 and assigned it the rights to OPCHDA I have not actually tested historical data as we use uniformance for our corporate historian -> hence it only has to collect real time data...
