Node Identifiers for Multiple FactoryTalk Historian
Servers
A Node Identifier is stored with each tag name used in a display to point to
the correct server. If you define FactoryTalk Historian server nodes in the
PI Connection Manager dialog box, the identifiers are the same on each
PC on the network as long as the node names for the FactoryTalk Historian
system are the same.
Workspace
When you start FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook, it appears as an open
window or workspace on the desktop. Depending on your settings, you
may initially see an empty workspace, or an open ProcessBook (page 10)
in either Book (page 50) or Outline (page 53) view.
Within the FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook workspace you can open a
ProcessBook (page 10) or independent display (page 11).
ProcessBook (.piw)
In FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook a ProcessBook is the container for
the information and analysis of the process you are monitoring. A
ProcessBook may appear as either a tabbed book - Book view (page 50), or
an outline - Outline view (page 53), and is saved as a separate file with a
.piw extension.
A ProcessBook is a collection of individual displays of data and analysis.
Use a ProcessBook to organize data from the FactoryTalk Historian system
and other sources so that you can analyze the processes you monitor or the
tasks you perform.
A ProcessBook and its displays are stored in a single file.
