The point discovery wizard is a feature of FactoryTalk Historian SE
that guides you through the process of finding data points from
selected point sources, such as Linx Enterprise, Linx Classic, other
OPC-DA Servers (for example,
kepware opc), and HMI/ Alarm
Servers (for example, FactoryTalk View).
The point discovery wizard uses discovery rules to search for
Historian points. Creating the rules is a part of the discovery
process. The data points (tags) that match the rules you create are
added to the FactoryTalk Historian SE server. The default rules are
stored in the following XML file:
C:\ProgramData\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Historian\Auto
Discovery and Configuration Rules.xml
The rules that you define are saved in a user-defined XML file. The
file is stored in the same location as the file with the default set of
rules. The point discovery wizard uses the rules from both files.
