Add tags to an existing OPC server data source

To add tags to an existing published data source

1. In Excel 2010 or later, open the XML template that you previously published.

2. Select As an XML table.

   

3. Append the sheet by adding tag details for any new tags you want to add to AVEVA Insight. Be sure to set "computerName", "applicationName", and "topicName" to correspond to the server's gateway configuration, as defined when you set up .

   For more information, see XML Tag Reference: Define tags from OPC data source.

4. Select Save As to save the spreadsheet. Use the original name and specify a type of "XML Data". Select Save.

   

   Note: When saving, you may be warned you will lose formatting within the spreadsheet when using this file type. If so, select Continue.

5. Publish the file again using the same name you gave Publisher before for this data source.

   For details, see Publish tags from an OPC server.

   Note: By using the original name, Publisher recognizes it as already existing and provides a set of options for dealing with the "conflict" of names.

6. When asked about how to handle naming conflicts, select Replace.
