Migrating Your Groups

About this task

Migrate your groups using the Classic Historian Migration Tool. This allows you to maintain any configured collection rates and deadbands.
Important: If you plan to run the Advanced Historian to Historian Migration Utility on a non-SCADA node, migrate the groups after running the utility. If you try to migrate the groups first, you will not have correct EGU information for the iFIX/Advanced Historian historical tags.

Procedure

  1. Open the Classic Migration Utility from the Historian Toolbar.
  2. Select Configure Options from the Options menu.
  3. Select or clear the Overwrite Existing Tags option. This is the only option that applies to group migration. For more information, refer to the Configuring Classic Migration Options section.
  4. Select Migrate Collection Groups from the File menu. The Utility prompts you to specify if you would like to migrate all groups.
    The Historian Classic Migration Utility connects to the specified server and migrates the groups.
    Note: When migrating groups, Qualifier and Phase parameters are not migrated. If a group is not active, it is still migrated to the Historian with a collection rate.
