Access permissions required to run the preparation wizard

The PI MDB to AF Preparation wizard requires certain access permissions in order to prepare for migration.

When running the preparation wizard directly on the Data Archive computer itself, you need the following access permissions:

• On the Data Archive server, you need write access on the PIBACKUP and PIModules table in Database Security (in PI SMT, choose Security > Database Security).

  If you don't have the correct access permissions, a pop-up dialog box appears showing a -10401 (no write access) error.

  Note: On PI Server versions 3.4.370 or earlier, PIBACKUP is not required, but piadmin privileges are required. If necessary, the preparation wizard prompts you for the elevated credentials.

• When running the wizard remotely, you need the access permissions listed above, and you also need to be an administrator on both the remote Data Archive server and the local client. If necessary, the preparation wizard prompts you for the elevated credentials.
