You can configure the AVEVA Historian to automatically start when the computer starts. In addition, you can configure the optional modules to automatically start when the main Historian subsystems start. These modules can be stopped and started individually without affecting data acquisition, storage, and retrieval.
To configure general startup options
-
In the console tree, expand a server group and then expand a server.
-
Right-click Management Console, point to All Tasks, and then click Server Startup Options. The standard login screen appears.
-
Enter the domain, ID, and password in the dialog box and click OK. The Set Historian Startup Options dialog box appears.

The Server box shows the node name of the computer hosting AVEVA Historian to which the options apply.
-
To automatically start one or more optional modules when the AVEVA Historian starts, click to select the modules in the Startup Modules window.
To select all modules, click Select All. To cancel the selection of all modules, click Select None.
