Backfill data in PI DA 2015 R2

Thank you (Missing Content)​ for quick response.

Hi (Missing Content),

let me explain the scenario first:

I have a PI DA server in which I am trying to backfill using piconfig script.

1. Change Editday parameter to 0.
2. Restarted PI Archive Subsystem services on the DA server.
3. Prepared .txt file which contain tag,timestamp,value format
4. Went to piconfig and run Piconfig <path/filename.txt
5. received 0 error during backfilling
6. checked in Archive editor but backfill data won't show up there.

What should I do to complete backfill successful?

Did I do anything wrong?

Hi Nik_Jinja​,

This is possible. The requirement is that you already have or have created the archives that cover the time ranges you want to backfill.

Nik_Jinja​ ,

Your exact configuration/scripts work on mine. I only tested 1 line of data but it ended up in the archive. I suspect there are other issues than the script.

Please see if you have complated the steps in Prepare Data Archive for backfilling (aveva.com).
