Connect to a Server

About this task

The Historian Interactive SQL application allows you to make multiple connections to the same server or different servers. This allows you to look at data from different servers.

Procedure

  1. Access the Historian Interactive SQL application.
  2. Select File > New.
    The Historian Interactive SQL Login window appears.

  3. Select a Historian server, and then enter the username, password, and domain to connect to the server. If you do not enter user credentials, the currently logged-in user is considered.
  4. Select OK.
    A new session of the Historian Interactive SQL application appears, and it is connected to the server that you have specified. The session begins with the default values for SET variables.
    Note: If modifications or additions are made to the list of available Historian servers using any of the Historian clients (Excel, non-web Administrator, or iFIX WorkSpace: Expression Builder and iFIX Migration Tools), those settings are global for any Historian clients running on that computer.
