Obtaining a configuration file from Legacy Historian

Conversion of a legacy historian configuration into an AIM batch configuration input file is performed with the leg2fh utility. For Solaris systems, hosting legacy historian, the leg2fh executable needs to be obtained from SimSci and installed on the machine running legacy historian (location of the file is not important).

1. Ensure that the legacy historian processes are running:
   /usr/fox/historian/bin/hps

   The resulting process display should include hist_srv, hr_fetch, and hs_fetch.

2. If these programs are not running, start the I/A Series Historian.

   1. Run the migration program:

      leg2fh <Historian> <Output> <Max RTPs>

      Where:

      <Historian> specifies the Historian instance to convert.

      <Output> specifies the full path and name of the resulting AIM*Historian configuration file. Typically, the file name is the name of the AIM*Historian instance. Include the extension .inp, as in the following example: hist01.inp.

      <Max RTPs> specifies the maximum number of real-time points to support in the AIM*Historian instance. The minimum value of this variable is 5000.

   2. Use a text editor to modify the output file as necessary, following the instructions in the header of the generated .inp file.
