Procedure
Access Historian Administrator.
Select Browse for Server, and select the Historian
server that you want to connect with the OPC Classic HDA
server.
Select Set Selected Server as Target of HDA Server, and then select OK.
The selected server is set as the target Historian server.
Configure any external OPC HDA clients to connect to the OPC Classic HDA
server. You can connect multiple instances of the clients to a single
server.
When an OPC HDA client tries to connect to the Historian OPC Classic HDA
server, and if an instance of the server is not available, the instance is
started, and the client connects to the running instance of the server. The
Historian OPC Classic HDA
server continues to run as long as there are clients
connected to it.
Note: The OPC Classic HDA
server uses Proficy.Historian.HDA as
the program ID (ProgID).
What to do next
If you have installed the OPC Classic HDA
server on a
remote machine, enable the firewall.
