Using History Transfer Objects

In large enterprise systems, it is often the case that data is archived in different data historians from different vendors in different locations. When undertaking data integration projects, it is necessary to be able to move large amounts of historical data from location to location or to be able to easily import data into a system so it can be accessed more easily. The correct management of these large data transfers is essential to avoid overloading networks and servers and to prevent the loss of any data due to interrupted connections or unprompted downtime of services.

system:inmation contains a whole suite of history transfer options that enable you to move, import and export large amounts of historical data with full control over scheduling and load management. With in built interfaces to most commercial data historians, large history transfer operations are available from one vendor historian to another with minimal configuration of connections. The different history transfer objects also make it easy to transfer data from an external system into system:inmation’s MongoDB repository or to export historical data to different file formats.
