Migrate Displays to Another FactoryTalk
Historian Server
When you want to use an existing tag with a different FactoryTalk
Historian server, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook attempts to locate the
correct tags. Each ProcessBook saves the tag information for all of the
symbols it contains. Beginning with PI SDK 1.3.6, when you use a
FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook symbol with a FactoryTalk Historian
server other than the one for which it was created, the FactoryTalk
Historian server is added automatically if it is discoverable on the network.
If the FactoryTalk Historian server is not discoverable, then FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook prompts you to select a new FactoryTalk Historian
server. Once the new FactoryTalk Historian server is selected, FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook searches the database for a matching tag ID.
 If a match is found, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook retrieves the
tag name associated with the tag ID and compares the tag name with
the saved tag name.
 If the tag names are the same, the value is shown in the entry.
 If the tag names are different, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook
searches the database for the tag ID of the saved tag name. If a match
is found, the value is shown in the entry.
 If a match is not found, FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook uses the
tag ID saved with the ProcessBook regardless of the different tag
names.
 If no tag ID or tag name is found in the database, FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook displays a message informing you of the
missing tag.
This behavior is governed by the value of PB2TagResolution, located
in the procbook.ini (page 315) file's Data Manager section.
PB2TagResolution can take the following values:
