Prepare for Multiple Archive Creation

If you plan to create multiple archives at the same time, set the following parameters. These parameters apply only when creating multiple archives at the same time.
  • In the Archive Details section, set File Attribute to Read/Write.
  • In the Configuration Tab:
    • set Automatically Create Archives to Disabled.
    • set Overwrite Old archives to Enabled.
    • set Store OPC Quality to Disabled.
    • set Data is Readonly After (Hours) to 1 month.
    • set Generate Message on Data Update to Disabled.

Before you begin creating multiple archives on a remote machine, ensure that you have enough hard disk space on that machine. The Allocate Space slider does not display a remote machine's hard disk space; the r;percentage of available disk space will be used message displayed by the Allocate Space slider will be inaccurate if it appears at all.

If you receive the error message Runtime error 330 Invalid Property Value while creating multiple archives on a remote machine, it is probably because you did not have enough hard disk space on that machine. When you click OK on the error message, Historian Administrator may disappear. You must now clean up the remote machine's hard disk space and restart Historian Administrator.
