Create a Wonderware Collector

Before you begin

Deploy Proficy Historian for AWS.
Install collectors. You can install them on-premises or on an EC2 instance in a VPC (which can be the same one as the Historian server or a different one).
Ensure that the iFIX server is running.

The Wonderware collector collects data from a Wonderware Historian 2014 R2 Server application and stores it in Data Archiver.

Features:

Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
Run the CloudHistorianConfigurationUtility.exe file. It is provided along with the collectors installer. After you install collectors, it will be available in the C:\Program Files\GE Digital\Historian Cloud Config folder by default.
Enter the number corresponding to creating a collector instance.
A list of collectors that you can create appears.
Enter the number corresponding to the collector that you want to create.

In the Description section, copy the DNS name.
