Transferring Data
The Data Transfer subsystem works with the Data Storage and Data 
Collection subsystems to transfer historical data to a FactoryTalk 
Historian SE or PI server. The Data Transfer subsystem can only 
transfer data to one FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server. 
Before you set up data transfer in the FactoryTalk Historian ME 
module, you must connect the FactoryTalk Historian ME module to 
the FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server through the System 
Management Tools (SMT) and configure trusts within the 
FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server. For FactoryTalk Historian 
SE, you must also assign FactoryTalk Activation licenses to support 
the FTMS point source.
Adding Trusts to Your FactoryTalk Historian SE 
or PI Server
In order to successfully transfer data between FactoryTalk Historian 
ME and a FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server, you must create 
two trusts on the FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server: 
datatransfer and webs. First, depending on whether you will be 
using FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server as your data transfer 
server, login to the FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI System 
Management tools (SMT) application and set up two trust 
connections in the FactoryTalk Historian SE server or PI server: 
datatransfer trust
webs trust
Then go to the module web interface and test the module 
connection to the FactoryTalk Historian SE or PI server. Depending 
on what type of data transfer server you are configuring, perform 
the steps in either “Application Trusts (FactoryTalk Historian SE)” 
on page 26 or “Application Trusts (PI Server)” on page 31.
