Adding Auto-Summary Values for a Defined Timeframe

Note: Beginning with AVEVA Historian 2017 (version 17.0.18000), Historian automatically creates a one-hour summary tag for every analog tag in the system.
To generate auto-summary data for a specific time range, you can use the Replication Backfill Manager.
By default, the Replication Backfill Manager (aahBackfillUI.exe) is located in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wonderware\Historian\x64
To generate auto-summary data
-
Open the Replication Backfill Manager (aahBackfillUI.exe).

-
Select a Replication Server from the list. You can backfill auto-summary data to any replication server defined in the Operations Control Management Console.
-
Choose the Start Time and End Time of the period for which you want auto-summary data to be generated. The default is to generate auto-summary data for the previous 6 months.
-
Specify the Time Increment (in hours) for how much time each summary tag will summarize. The default is 24 hours per summary tag
-
Click Start to begin the process.
There is no need to keep the utility open once it has initiated the backfill process. But if you reopen the utility, you can see the replication progress.
The progress bar indicates the progress of the synchronization queue requests sent to for auto-summary processing. It does not indicate that all the data has been processed and summarized in the auto-summary blocks. The processing will complete silently outside of the utility interface.
