Configure a Proficy Historian Server for the Analysis Application

About this task

This topic describes how to configure Proficy Historian servers for the Analysis application so that you can plot Historian tags. The Analysis application supports plotting of Historian tags from Proficy Historian versions 8.1 SIM 1, SIM2, SIM3, and 9.1.
Note: The Analysis application does not support plotting of Historian tags from Proficy Historian 9.0 version.
You can configure a maximum of 10 remote or native Historian servers in the application.properties file for the Analysis application.

Procedure

  1. Based on your type of installation, perform one of the following steps:
    • Enterprise Installation: In the directory <buildpath>/PlantApplicationsDocker/plantapps-web-docker/mnt/configfiles/historian-config/prod/<version>/, access the historian-config-prod.properties file by using a text editor.
    • Standard Installation: In the directory <Installation_directory>\config-repo\historian-config\prod\<version>\, access the historian-config-prod.properties file by using a text editor.
  2. In the historian-config-prod.properties file, enter the properties and their details for each Proficy Historian as described in the following table.
    Note: It is recommended to use the same server name format (either IP address, FQDN, or host name) in all the properties to minimize connection issues. For example, if you have entered FQDN for the hist<n>.service.origin property, use the FQDN format for the hist<n>.service.hostname and hist<n>.uaa.origin properties as well.
    Property Description
    hist<n>.service.origin Enter the IP address, FQDN, or host name of the Proficy Historian server.
    hist<n>.service.port Enter the port number on which the Proficy Historian server is installed.
    Tip: You can leave this property blank if the Proficy Historian server is installed on the default port 8443.
    hist<n>.service.hostname Enter the IP address, FQDN, or host name of the Proficy Historian server as configured in Plant Applications Administrator. For example, GESERVER.
    Note: The IP address, FQDN, or host name must match with the Server Name configured in the Historian Connections page of Plant Applications Administrator.
    hist<n>.service.client_id Enter the client id of the Historian Administrator.
    • Historian 7.0: admin is the default value.
    • Historian 8.0 or later: <hostname>.admin is the default value, where the host name is the server's name where Historian Web-based Clients are installed.
    hist<n>.service.client_secret Enter the client secret of Historian Administrator.
    hist<n>.uaa.origin Enter the IP address, FQDN, or host name of the UAA server.
    hist<n>.uaa.port Enter the port number on which the UAA server is installed.
    Note: In the Property column, in each property, <n> represents a numeric value between 1 and 10 indicating the count of the Historian server configured in the file. For example, hist1.service.origin, hist2.service.origin, and so on.
  3. Save changes to the file.
  4. Restart the mes-dataservice-impl-0.6.7 and processanalyzer-service-impl-0.6.7 services to apply the changes.

Results

The configured GE Proficy Historian servers appear in the Analysis application.
