Configuring the OSI PI Data Archive

Important: You do not have the latest version of Historian! You are missing out on the newest capabilities and enhanced security. For information on all the latest features, see the Historian product page. For more information on upgrades, contact your GE Digital sales agent or e-mail GE Digital Sales Support.

By default, no specific configuration is required for the OSI PI Data Archive to allow the OSI PI Collector to collect data and archive it to the Historian Server or Predix Cloud. However, a user with read permissions must be configured in the OSI PI data server for the OSI PI Collector.

Note: The OSI PI Collector reads data directly from the OSI PI archives and attempts to maintain a near real-time operation. It has been tested up to 25,000 events per second. However, performance is dependent on hardware and network capabilities, so if the collector begins to fall significantly behind real-time, it may be more suitable to partition the data retrieval into two or more collectors.
