Start the AVEVA Historian

To start the Historian

1. Start the Operations Control Management Console. (From the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, AVEVA, and then click the Operations Control Management Console icon .)

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

3. Right-click Management Console and then click Start Historian. If the login credentials were not already saved, the standard login screen displays.

   

4. Enter the domain and the login name and password. The domain can be "." to identify the local computer.

5. Click OK.

   Note: You cannot start the system if there is insufficient space in the circular storage location (less than 50 percent of the minimum threshold).

   For the Historian to start, TCP/IP must be enabled for the SQL Server. The following error message appears if TCP/IP is not enabled: "Fatal initialization error - unable to start. (Failed to open connection to configuration database)." By default, SQL Server Express and Developer Edition do not have TCP/IP enabled.
