Reference elements between AF Databases

Let's say I have 2 AF databases on the same SQL Server and reachable from the same AF Server,

One which is a functionnal one, describing our process

The second one which is the one connectors use for their configuration and raw output

Usually, when we use connectors, we tend to clean up a bit the useful data by cherry-picking what we want to display in the functionnal one, so we mostly rely on the tags that are created

 

I'm using Wonderware's connector that replicate what's in WW Historian, it is automatically gathered and updated in the Connector AF Database

 

But as WW is an historian, it carries some functionnal hierarchy that I'd like to keep and not maintain manually so I'd like to reference the created element from the Connectors Database in the functionnal one

Is there a way to do that ?

  • Hello, thanks for your answer

    That's the solution my journey on this topic ended up and I'm quite not satisfied about it... Regardless the connector, I guess I'll have to end up replicating stuff that was automatically generated or pushing everything in a "garbage" element on my functional structure and add references and I hate it.

    Thanks again, Regards,
