10. In the Choose Buffer Type pane, select the Enable buffering

with PI Buffer Subsystem option.

11. Click Yes in the confirmation message box that appears. Wait

until the status box at the bottom of the Buffering dialog box
displays Current Configuration: Good.

NOTE

If you delete an interface and recreate the interface (with the
same ID) on another computer, you will get errors unless you

restart the computer on which the deleted interface was located.
Restarting the computer ensures the restarting of the buffering

subsystem.

As a general rule, you must always disable buffering on the

interface before you delete it. If you forget to disable buffering,
you will have to restart the computer to make sure the
buffering subsystem is restarted.

12. Select Buffered Servers in the left pane of the dialog box.
13. From the Buffering to collective/server list, select the name

of the computer on which the FactoryTalk Historian Live
Data Interface is installed, and then click Yes in to the

confirmation message box.

14. Click OK to close the Buffering dialog box.
15. From the tree in the Interface Configuration Utility dialog

box, select Service.

16. In the Dependencies box, add the

pibufss service from the

Installed services list.

NOTE

Add pibufss as a dependent service to make sure your interface

always starts after the buffering service starts.

IMPORTANT

If the interface starts before the buffering subsystem, data will
be lost.

17. On the toolbar, click to restart the interface.
