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.
