Historian ETL Workflow
To transfer data using Historian ETL, you must perform the following steps.
| Step Number | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Extract data from Proficy Historian or PI Server. | This step is required. It involves extracting tag data and compressing it so that it can be transferred to the destination Historian server. |
| 2 | Transfer the data using BITS, FTP, or any other file-sharing application. | This step is required. It involves setting up the file-sharing application that you want to use and then transferring the data to the machine on which the destination Historian server is installed. |
| 3 | Load the data into the destination Historian server. | This step is optional. It involves extracting the .zip files transferred by the file-sharing application and then loading the data into the destination Historian server. |
Note: Depending on the use case, you can use these tools independently or together.
