Add a PI Data Archive server or a PI AF server to the registered servers list

If the list of registered PI AF servers and databases in PI System Explorer does not include the AF server that you want, follow these steps to configure a connection from the AVEVA PI Vision application server to each PI AF server that you plan to use with AVEVA PI Vision.

1. Run PI System Explorer locally on the AVEVA PI Vision application server. PI System Explorer is installed as part of the AVEVA PI Vision installation.

2. Choose File > Connections.

   The Servers window opens. This window lists all the Data Archive servers and PI AF servers for which a connection is configured. The currently connected Data Archive and PI AF servers are indicated with green circles.

3. Select Add Asset Server for PI AF server or Add Data Server for Data Archive.

4. In the Server Properties window, enter the name of your PI AF server or Data Archive server in the Host field.

5. Select Connect.
