Overview

Storage Locations are designated databases that store historical data from Tags on their HistorianTables.

Each Storage Location is a repository for time-series data, enabling long-term trending and analysis.

When defining which Tags will store time-series data, those Historian Tags are grouped into Historian Tables, and each Historian Table is located in a Historian Archive Location defined in this interface. 

By Default, the system has a SQL database defined for Storage Location, Historian Tools and Script Classes can be added to the solution, as alternate, or concurrent, storage locations. Archive Locations offers a flexible way to define and manage where historical data is stored. You can define a default Tag Historian Database and also add external options, if necessary.

Understanding Archive Location

The Archive Location defines where Tag 's data will be archived considering the Historian Tables arrangement. establishing a clear linkage between tags and the storage infrastructure. You When configuring the Storage Location, you can use:

  • SQL databases

, ScriptClasses, or connections

  • Script Classes

  • Connections with a Third-Party Historians, Like Canary and others. 

When Historian when configuring the Archive Location. In other words, when you set the Archive Storage Location, you 're specifying specify the storage medium system for Tag 's data.

By default, FrameworX the platform uses an SQLite a SQLite database. You have the option to can change the default database or add additional databases , in case if you need to use different databasesones.
