Importing Messages

About this task

The Importing Messages command writes all messages from the worksheet into the server. When you initiate the import function, a window asks if you want to import messages from your worksheet into a specified server.

If you reply Yes, it scans your worksheet for messages, writes them to the server, and notifies you that the operation succeeded or failed. If you choose to export messages from Historian into Excel and then import the messages back into the Historian, note that the Importing Messages function only allows you to add messages to the Historian Server. It does not allow you to modify or remove any existing messages.

Procedure

Select Administration and then select Import Messages from the Historian menu. A message box appears.
Select Yes to execute the import. A window appears when the operation is complete. Select OK to close the window.
If errors occur in the import, a window appears detailing the issues encountered in the import. If an error occurs in any line of the import, the whole import is aborted.
