Guys, I just got another surprise while "downgrading" from UNIX to XP. I have been told that my UNIX AIM instance and historical data will not import into the XP version of AIM. Is there a solution out there that will allow me to recover the instance and data from my UNIX box? Thanks Troy *********************************************** Troy, See the following foxboro-freelist archive item from Sylvain Nadeau * From: "Nadeau, Sylvain" <sylvain.nadeau - at - ips.invensys.com * To: < * Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:00:38 -0400 Hi Claudio, Yes it is true that AIM* Unix historian files can not be moved to Windows. Over the years, working with AIM* and other historians, we have developed knowledge to migrate data from Legacy/AIM* Unix&Windows) to AIM* (Windows) or to ASCII files for upload by another system (like the OSI PI system for example). The historian migration solution includes the following services: - Migration of the tag configuration (Services and Excel based macros) - Migration of the data (Services for historical data import and file loader interface = for target historian). In the case of AIM*, the data is imported directly into the target AIM*. - Validation of the data using an automated validation tool (Services and Excel based validation = tool that uses target historian extraction mechanism (OLEDB etc) ) - Validation report (The actual write-up of the validation results). So far we have done migrations for : Legacy Historian to AIM* (historical data migration) AIM* Unix to AIM* Windows (historical data migration) AIM* to OSI PI (historical data migration) = AIM* to Invensys Wonderware InSQL (historical data migration) Contact me off list if you are interested and we can prepare a proposed = scope (based on the # of tags and years of data to be migrated) & services offer.
