Shut down the entire AVEVA Historian

During a normal start and stop of the AVEVA Historian, the Configuration Manager service, the retrieval service, and the OLE DB provider are not shut down and they continue to run. A complete shutdown stops the entire system, including these services. Also, the Configuration Manager service is disabled so that it cannot be restarted.

Note: The Configuration Manager service is different than the Configuration Editor portion of the Operations Control Management Console management tool.

To shut down the entire system

1. In the console tree, expand a server group and then expand a server.

2. Right-click Management Console, point to All Tasks, and then click Shutdown (and disable) Historian.

3. Enter the domain, ID, and password in the dialog box and click OK.

4. You are prompted to verify the shutdown.

5. Click OK.

When the shutdown is complete, “Disconnected” appears for the system status.

WARNING! If the shutdown -s -t 0 command is used to force a shutdown on the Historian server or if the server is powered off by unplugging the power cord, data loss will occur at the Shutdown/PowerOff time point.

To start the system again, you first need to start the Configuration Manager service and then restart the Historian.

To start the entire system

6. In the console tree, expand a server group and then expand a server.

7. Right-click Management Console, point to All Tasks, and then click Enable (allow to run) Historian. A confirmation dialog box appears.

8. Click OK.

9. Right-click Management Console and then click Start Historian. The standard login screen appears.

10. Enter the domain (if necessary) and the login name and password.

11. Click OK.
