In a Historian server 2023, AlarmArchiver 2023, and Collectors 2023 setup, if you upgrade only the Alarm archive to 2024, and start the collectors, the collectors do not start.
Note: This is also applicable to an upgrade of Historian 2022, AlarmArchiver 2022, and Collectors 2022 setup to 2024.

Workaround:

  • Along with the AlarmArchiver, you must upgrade the Historian server to 2024.

Table 3. Security Related Known Issues
Description Tracking ID
In a setup where you installed Historian collectors along with client tools using the Proficy installer, such as iFIX Proficy installer, if you uninstall the client tools alone, the created MTLS registry gets removed, leaving the MTLS folder intact. This prevents you from using MTLS security. DE212965
The POSTGRES and Proficy Authentication (UAA) passwords are admissible in the Historian Web Components log. DE212644

Workaround: When you convert a value to boolean type, you must store the results as Result = bool(Historian.CurrentValue('TP.Simulation00001'))

Configuration Hub is not able to discover and add a system with Strict client and collector authentication enabled. DE211901
In Configuration Hub with LDAP and UAA setup, where the security groups are stored in the Domain Controller, the Tags and Data store Security Domain groups are not available for selection when assigning security group to a data store.

Workaround: You can create the required security groups locally in Windows. This will ensure that the group becomes available for selection in Configuration Hub.
