Robert, Below is Foxboro Helpful Hint 997. Regards, Kevin FitzGerrell Systems Engineer Foxboro New Zealand ------------------------------------ Tel: +64 (9) 573 7690 Fax: +64 (9) 573 7691 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.

We have had to change the name of one of our historians and have many many trends to update to the newly name historian. We are now at 6.5 using DM's. Robert Balmer Climax Molybdenum Co.
