Install Operations Hub and Historian on a Single Machine

This topic describes the installation of Operations Hub and Historian on the same computer.

Before you begin

Ensure that the machine on which you want to install meets the installation requirements for these applications.
  • Operations Hub 2.1
  • Historian 9.1

About this task

You can choose any order of install for the applications on the same machine.
  • Install Operations Hub followed by Historian (OR)
  • Install Historian followed by Operations Hub

Procedure

  1. Run the installation DVD for Historian 9.1, and install web-based clients:
    • Historian Web Admin
    • Historian Trend Client
    The installation creates an application shortcut for the components on your desktop. UAA is also installed as part of the Historian installation.
  2. On the same machine, run the installation DVD for Operations Hub 2.1, and follow the wizard to install the application.
    Important points to consider:
    • The FQDN details cannot be modified if you install Operations Hub after installing Historian on the same machine. The host names provided during Historian installation are acquired by default.


    • Do not select Use External UAA if installing Operations Hub after installing Historian on the same machine. Historian's UAA instance is already installed on your machine.


  3. After installing, log in to Operations Hub with your user credentials.
    If you open Historian Web Admin while logged into Operations Hub on the same machine, you may receive an error stating that access is denied due to insufficient privileges.
  4. In Operations Hub, go to Manage > Users, and access your user account.
  5. Add historian_visualization.admin and historian_visualization.user to Groups and save.
    Historian privileges are assigned to the user account.
  6. If you run into a Unable to load data sources error, refer to troubleshooting for resolving the issue.

What to do next

If you installed Operations Hub followed by Historian on the same machine, then search for Operations Hub log files in the Historian's log folder. Both application log files are created in C:\ProgramData\HistorianWebBasedClientLogs.
