Set the Reconnection Time to an AVEVA Historian Server

You can set the time required for a trend to reconnect to a server. By default, the reconnection time is 120 seconds. However, you can modify this value in the win.ini file.

To set the reconnection time

1. Browse to locate the win.ini file in the C:\WINDOWS folder.

2. Open the win.ini file in a text editor.

3. Find the HistClient entry. If the entry is not found, create a new HistClient entry.

4. Specify the reconnection time in seconds against the RECONNECTION_INTERVAL_SECS key as follows:

   [HistClient]

   RECONNECTION_INTERVAL_SECS=120

   Be sure that the specified value is in the range of 1 to 9999 seconds.

After the connection is established, the data is read and trend starts plotting tag values.
