Adding AVEVA Data Hub as a Replication Server

If you want to connect from AVEVA Historian to AVEVA Data Hub as a next-tier server, follow these steps.

To add AVEVA Data Hub as a replication server

1. In the Operations Control Management Console, expand a server group and then expand a server.

2. Expand Configuration Editor, expand System Configuration, and then expand Replication.

3. Right-click Replication Servers and select New Replication Server. The New Replication Server dialog box appears.

   

4. Select AVEVA Data Hub as the Replication Environment.

5. Configure the basic options for the replication server as follows:

   • Node Name/IP Address
     Specify a Node Name for the next-tier server.

     Note: Although the field is called Node Name/IP Address, for AVEVA Data Hub this value is only used as a name, not as the connection target. The connection details are determined when you click the Register... button.

   • Description
     Enter a description of the server. This description appears in the Operations Control Management Console and in Historian Client reports.

   • Store & Forward path
     Enter the store-and-forward path for data for this next-tier replication server. This must be an absolute path on the current computer. Remote paths are not supported for store-and-forward addresses.

   • Replicate Alarms and Events
     This option is not currently supported for replication to AVEVA Data Hub.

6. Click Register... to sign in to AVEVA Connect and select a tenant with access to AVEVA Data Hub.

7. After a successful login, a list of available namespaces displays. AVEVA Data Hub is hosted in multiple regions. Select a namespace in the appropriate region for your needs, then click Register. The New Replication Server dialog box redisplays. Your connection with AVEVA Data Hub is registered, and a Client ID is generated and added to the Connection Info section.

   

8. Click Next. The New Replication Server - Advanced dialog box appears.

   

   Summary replication is not supported for replication to AVEVA Data Hub.

9. In the Simple Replication Tag Naming Scheme area, select the replication tag naming scheme to use. Specify a custom naming scheme by selecting Custom and clicking the ellipsis button to the right of the box. The Naming Scheme dialog box appears. For information about configuring the naming scheme, see Specifying Naming Schemes for Replication.

10. Configure the remaining advanced settings as follows:

    • Min SF Duration

      Enter the minimum duration in seconds for the replication service to function in store-and-forward mode. The replication service functions in store-and-forward mode for this length of time even if the condition that caused the replication service to function in store-and-forward mode no longer exists. The duration can be an integer from 0 to 3600. Pick a value that provides a smooth transition for store-and-forward operation and prevents the system from repeatedly going in and out of store-and-forward mode.

    • Buffer Count

      Enter the number of 64KB buffers to allocate for the new replication server. This can be an integer from 128 to 2048. You may need to increase the buffer count to accommodate high data rates.

    • SF free space

    • Compression Enabled, Bandwidth, High Latency Network

      These options are not used for replication to AVEVA Data Hub.

11. Click Finish. The new replication server appears in the replication server list.
