Procedure

  1. Access Historian Administrator.
  2. Select the Server-to-Server collector from the list of collectors, and then select Configuration.
    The Collector Specific Configuration (ServerToServer) section appears.
  3. Provide values as specified in the following table, and then select Update.
    Field Description
    Alarm Replication Indicates whether you want to enable or disable alarm replication. If you enable alarm replication, all collected alarm data will be transferred from the source server to the destination server. If you enable alarm replication, you also enable alarm recovery. However, if you set the Max Recovery Time value to zero, alarm recovery does not happen.
    Message Replication Indicates whether you to want to enable or disable message replication. If you enable message replication, messages will be transferred from the source server to the destination server. You can use this data for audits. If you enable message replication, you also enable message recovery. However, if you set the Max Recovery Time value to zero, message recovery does not happen.
    Calculation Timeout (sec) The maximum time allowed for a tag's calculation formula to execute before being terminated. The default value is 10 seconds.
    Max Recovery Time (hr) The maximum duration, in hours, for which the collector will attempt to restore data during recovery logic. The default value is 4 hours.
    Add Prefix to Messages The prefix to identify replicated messages on the destination.
    Alarms and events data will automatically have a prefix added to it with the following syntax:
    MachineName_Datasource

    For example, if your alarm is forwarded from the server Almserver12 with a data source named OPCAE, the prefix will be Almserver12_OPCAE.
    The Server-to-Server collector is configured.
