Buffering

Bufserv
Bufserv buffers data to a standalone Historian Server, or to multiple standalone Historian
Servers. (If you want to buffer to multiple Historian Servers that are part of a Historian
Collective, you should use PIBufss.)
If the Historian Server to which you want Bufserv to buffer data is not in the Server list, enter
its name in the Add a server box and click the Add Server button. This Historian Server name
must be identical to the API Hostname entry:
The following screen shows that Bufserv is configured to write to a standalone Historian
Server named etamp390. You use this configuration when all the interfaces on the interface
node write data to etamp390.
The following screen shows that Bufserv is configured to write to two standalone Historian
Servers, one named etamp390 and the other one named starlight. You use this
configuration when some of the interfaces on the interface node write data to etamp390 and
some write to starlight.
