Start the eDNA Data Extraction

Before you begin

  • Configure the Historian ETL eDNA Extract settings.
  • If the machine on which you want to extract the data is different from the eDNA sever, access the hosts file located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, and add the host name and IP address of the eDNA server in the following format:
    <IP address> <eDNA service directory name>
    For example: 100.300.50.7 dna_svcdir_01

Procedure

  1. Run the HistorianETLeDNAExtractConfigTool file located in the <installation drive>\Program Files\GE Digital\Historian ETL eDNA Extract folder.
    Tip: You can also enter ETL Historian eDNA Extract in the Windows Start menu.
    The Historian ETL eDNA Extract Configuration window appears.
  2. Select Start Service.
    Data extraction from the eDNA server begins.
    Tip: If the tool does not start as expected, access the logs using Windows Event Viewer.
