Troubleshooting Tips

The OPC UA DA Collector generates log files during initialization, configuration, and general operation. These can be found in the general logging folder C:\Proficy Historian Data\LogFiles.

  • Be sure to run the OPC HDA Server before the OPC HDA Collector starts up.
  • If the OPC HDA Collector does not start automatically, refer to the Historian log file to view log entries to determine the problem.
  • Enable the CreateOfflineArchives flag in the Destination Historian as OPC HDA Collector pushes the old data.
