About Configuring OSI PI Data Archiver for OSI PI Distributor

In order for the OSI PI Distributor to write data to the OSI PI data archiver, make the following configuration changes to the OSI PI data server:
  • Before using the OSI PI Distributor, you must create writable tags in the OSI PI data archive.
  • In order for the OSI PI Distributor to write data to a OSI PI data archive, the destination tags must first be given write access in OSI PI. Consult your OSI PI documentation for more details.
  • The OSI PI user must have write privileges.

    In addition to making the destination OSI PI data tags writable, you must also ensure that the OSI PI user the OSI PI Distributor is logging into the OSI PI data server has write access to the OSI PI data archive. If PI Trust or PI Mapping security is used, the corresponding PI users/Identities/Groups must also have write access to the OSI PI data archive. Consult your OSI PI documentation for more details.
