Transfer Data using BITS

Before you begin

Configure BITS.

About this task

You can transfer data using BITS by performing one of the following steps:

Procedure

  1. If you want to use the OSM_LBW_Transfer.vbs file to transfer files, perform the following steps:
    1. Verify that the OSM_LBW_Transfer.vbs file is configured to watch the folder in the destination machine in which the .zip files will be placed.
    2. Run the OSM_LBW_Transfer.vbs script by running the OSM_LBW_Transfer.cmd file.
      The script transfers files in the <Historian ETL installation location>/Historian ETL Extract/ZipFiles folder to the destination machine.
  2. If you want to use the OSMBitsDownload.vbs file to download files, perform the following steps.
    1. Access the OSMBitsDownload.vbs file, and verify that the path to the files and folders specified in the file is correct.
    2. Run the OSMBitsDownload.vbs script by running the following command: cscript OSMBitsDownload.vbs.
      The script uses the DownloadFilesToOSM.txt file to fetch the names of the files that must be transferred.
      Important:
      • Ensure that the DownloadFilesToOSM.txt file exists in the same location as the OSMBitsDownload.vbs file.
      • In the DownloadFilesToOSM.txt file, enter the file names that you want to download using the OSMBitsDownload.vbs script. If you want to transfer all zip files, enter *.zip.
      Tip: To access the jobs created by BITS while transferring data, access the BITSADMIN/LIST/ALLUSERS folder. If the tool does not start as expected, access the logs using Windows Event Viewer.

What to do next

Load the data into the destination Historian server.
