Andreas, With ver 4.3, Foxboro added a -h option to d_edit to do what you ask for. This is documented in HH997 (below). Regards, Kevin FitzGerrell Systems Engineer Foxboro New Zealand +64 9 573 7690 HH#: HH997 IA INFO: rss0202 File: Display Utilities Release: 4.3 and Unix Date: Apr. 22, 2002 Subject: Changing historian name in Display Manager Displays Source: TAC Problem: A typical upgrade scenario from legacy to AIM historian is to use unique names for each. The displays will be referring to the legacy historian name and must be edited to reflect the new name. With the display manager there was no known d_edit command to make these changes in a timely manner. Solution: Change directory to the display directory and run the command: AW5101# d_edit -h/hist01/hist08/ display name. This display utility command's description was left out of the Display Reporter and Connection Editor manual (B0193JN). Now the trend displays will connect to hist08 instead of hist01.
