Updating the capacity property of multiple local histories

A station’s storage capacity for multiple local histories is limited. To reduce local storage requirements, this procedure uses the Batch Editor of the ProgramService to configure at one time how many history records a station can store.

You are connected to a station. The Archive History Provider is configured and operational and history data are available from multiple local data stores.
  1. Expand Station > Config > Services, and double-click ProgramService.
    The Batch Editor opens.

  2. To locate the histories, click Find Objects.
    The Bql Query Builder opens.

  3. For Of Type, select (Custom Type) from the drop-down list.
    Of Type moves to left end and two more drop-down lists appear.

  4. Select history and HistoryConfig from the drop-down lists and click OK.
    The Batch Editor displays the history files it found.

    The screen capture shows two audit history files and a single log history file.
  5. To configure the number of records to store for a specific history, select the history row and click the Edit Slot button at the bottom of Batch Editor.
    The Edit Slot window opens.

  6. In the New Value pane, fill in the number of records and click OK.
    The Batch Editor Results opens along with the capacity values for each history.
