However, if the Historian Server contains an interface-specific Trust entry that allows a
particular interface program to write data, you must have a Trust entry specific to buffering.
The following are the appropriate entries for the Application Name field of a Trust entry:

Buffering Application

Application Name field for Trust

Buffer Subsystem

PIBufss.exe

PI API Buffer Server

APIBE (if the PI API is using 4 character process
names)
APIBUF (if the PI API is using 8 character process
names)

To use a process name greater than 4 characters in length for a trust application name, use the
LONGAPPNAME=1 in the PIClient.ini file.
