Attach a database to the Batch Historian server

Attaching a database to a Batch Historian server allows you to view, query and report on data from that database.

To attach a database to a Batch Historian server, it must be a database that is already detached from any other servers.

  1. Select the database from the list of detached databases.
    Note

    The database must be on a drive that is accessible to the Batch Historian server. This might require copying the database to a location that is accessible.

  2. Right-click, and then select Attach.
  3. Select the server to which you want to attach this database.
  4. Click OK. The database is now attached to that server.
    Note

    The archive that you are attaching must reside on the local machine. You cannot attach a remote database.
