Chapter 1 Introduction The FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface is used to transfer data from a Rockwell Historian server (source server) to another Rockwell Historian server (target server). This includes a Rockwell FactoryTalk Historian ME module, a FactoryTalk Historian SE server or a collective of FactoryTalk Historian SE 3.0 servers being transferred to another Rockwell FactoryTalk Historian SE 3.0 server or a collective of FactoryTalk Historian SE 3.0 servers.

Chapter 2 Licensing To use the FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface, you need to purchase an H2H license activation file, activate the interface using FactoryTalk Activation Manager, and assign the license activation to the Target Server using the FactoryTalk Administration Console.
Chapter 2 Licensing number shows how many licenses of the selected type will be assigned to the server. 7. Click Apply. After you have assigned the activation file to the server, a point source FTSS has been created and set to unlimited. You can check it in the Point Sources tab. NOTE Verify the Allocated Interface Licenses You need to restart the server for the changes to take effect. You can verify that the H2H Interface licenses has been properly allocated in the System Management Tools.
Licensing Chapter 2 4. Click Resources > PointSourcesLimit.FTSS. NOTE Rockwell Automation Publication H2H-IN001A-EN-E–July 2012 For more information on viewing the allocated licenses, refer to the FactoryTalk Historian SE Installation and Configuration Guide, section "Viewing Allocated Licenses".

Installing FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface Chapter 3 You may be prompted to restart your computer to complete the installation. If you do not choose to restart your computer at this time, be sure to restart it at the completion of the required installation steps for FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface. Install FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface To install FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface: 1. Double-click setup.exe. The installation wizard appears. 2.
Chapter 3 Installing FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface NOTE You can choose the destination drive only if you install the component on the selected machine for the first time. If there have been any FactoryTalk Historian components installed on the machine before, the Installation drive list will not be available. Click Next. The Installation Progress page appears. It lists the components that are going to be installed.

Chapter 4 Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface To configure the H2H Interface, perform the following steps: 1. Create an interface instance in the ICU (page 19). 2. Create a target point on the target server (page 21). 3. Configure a trust on the target server (page 22). 4. Configure a trust on the source server (page 22). 5. Start the H2H Interface (page 22). 6. Verify the H2H Interface (page 23).
Chapter 4 Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface 4. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\FactoryTalk Historian\PIPC\Interfaces\FTPItoPI and select FTPItoPI.exe. 5. Click Open. 6. Under Host PI Server/Collective, select this computer. 7. Complete the following information: Under: Type: Point Source Interface ID Service ID FTSS 1 1 8. Click Add. 9. In the PI ICU Register Interface message box, click OK. 10.
Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface Chapter 4 14. In the Service tab, click Create. 15. In the PI Interface Configuration Utility message box that appears, click Yes. You have successfully created and configured the H2H Interface. Create a Target Point on the To create a FTSS point on the Target Server to be the target point: Target Server 1. Go to Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Historian SE > System Management Tools.
Chapter 4 Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface Configure a Trust on the Target Server Since the Interface is local to the FactoryTalk Historian SE 3.01 Server, it will use the default proxy trust. If the Interface was installed on a computer other than the Target Server, then you would need to define a trust to allow a connection from that computer to the Target Server. For more information on creating trusts, refer to the online help available in the System Management Tools.
Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface Verify the H2H Interface Chapter 4 To verify that the H2H Interface is working properly, you need to check whether the current value of the tag at the Source Server (BA:Temp.1) equals the current value of the tag at the Target Server (MyTEMPtag). To verify the interface: 1. On the source server, go to Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Historian SE > System Management Tools. The System Management Tools dialog box appears. 2.

Chapter 5 Creating Multiple FTSS Tags In "Configuring FactoryTalk Historian To Historian Interface (page 19)", we have used as an example an internal FactoryTalk Historian SE point for creating a target FTSS point on the Target Server. In real life, you would need to create multiple FTSS target points for multiple source points collected through an FTLD interface instead, so that they can be used for transferring data by the H2H Interface.
Chapter 5 Creating Multiple FTSS Tags 3. In the Add-Ins tab, click PI-SMT, and select Import Tags. The Import PI Tags dialog box appears. 4. Under Import from, select the Source Server that uses the FTLD interface. NOTE If the server is not listed, click Connections and add the server in the Connection Manager. Refer to the help in the Connection Manager for more information. 5. Under Point Source, type FTLD. 6. Click OK. The tags are imported and displayed in the Excel workbook.
Creating Multiple FTSS Tags Chapter 5 9. Right-click the first cell in the exdesc column to which you will paste the modified tag names. 10. Select Paste Special > . The modified tag names are pasted to the subsequent cells of the exdesc column. In this way you create references to the source tags for the FTSS target tags you are about to create. 11. Go to the Tag column, and rename the tags you have selected and copied. In this way you create names for the FTSS tags. 12.
Chapter 5 Creating Multiple FTSS Tags NOTE If the server is not listed, click Connections and add the server in the Connection Manager. Refer to the help in the Connection Manager for more information. 4. Click OK. The tags are exported to the target server.
